It's possible something is a little screwed. By default (iirc), the pid is
written to a file in the spool directory. Of course, you can specify the
location in your config - from the spec:

pid_file_path    Use: main    Type: string    Default: set at compile time


This option sets the name of the file to which the Exim daemon writes its
process id. The string is expanded, so it can contain, for example, references
to the host name:

pid_file_path = /var/log/$primary_hostname/exim.pid

If no path is set, the pid is written to the file exim-daemon.pid in Exim's
spool directory. The value set by the option can be overridden by the -oP
command line option. A pid file is not written if a "non-standard" daemon is run
by means of the -oX option, unless a path is explicitly supplied by -oP.
