Hi

Firstly, please don't SHOUT. Using all capitals is construed by many as
somewhat rude :)

If you installed Exim from source, it doesn't include an init script.

It sounds, from your description, like you're using a RedHat based system - RHEL,
Fedora, CentOS - and the package you installed hasn't installed an init
script.

More info required, really - what OS/distro, and how did you install
Exim?
