On 4.9 - now built from the tarball, or on 5.1 built from the ports, it
isn't installed at all.

Both are now working after a fashion (need lots of Exim's
well-documented config work).

'One size doesn't fit all' so I generally write my own startup/shutdown
scripts, as I want them hard-coded as to UID and paths, shell-ethnicity
independent, and combined with things they may need *in order of need*.

EX: starting a DB and a CMS before the httpd that will provide access to
them, providing independent reload/restart, and shutting down the httpd
before the CMS and before the DB.

..etc.
