This is what I would expect.



You have installed exim from source, rather than from a package.

Installing from source will not give you the distribution-specific

init.d hooks to automatically stop and start exim. On debian, for

example, you would use "/etc/init.d/exim4 stop" or "/etc/init.d/exim4

start".



I think you should uninstall your source-built version of exim and then

install the official Redhat exim4 package. The package will put all the

hooks in place for you.
