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

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?
