Good idea, it's really bad too see so many "No such PID"-messages on a
high loaded system.
And the ps/egrep/kill solution COULD send signals to the wrong
processes, in strange situations. It's very unlikely, but not
impossible, that another process with the same PID spawns, after the
exim-process exited.
