In the "Exim4.upgrade" file (in the 'doc' sub-directory):
. The way the daemon wrote PID files was overly complicated and messy. It no
longer tries to be clever. A PID file is written if, and only if, -bd is
used and -oX is _not_ used. In other words, only if the daemon is started
with its standard options. There is only one PID file. If pid_file_path
is unset, it is exim-daemon.pid in Exim's spool directory. Otherwise the
value of pid_file_path is used. For backwards compatibility, "%s" in this
value is replaced by an empty string.

John.
