Hi all,
I don't have clue where to start diagnosing this so any suggestions
about what to look for would be appreciated.
I've been having an odd issue with exim today. I'll start exim and it
will have processes running like these:
102 1243 0.0 0.1 45668 1936 ? Ss 17:14 0:00 /usr/
sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m
root 1244 0.0 0.2 45672 3624 ? S 17:14 0:00 /usr/
sbin/exim4 -q
root 1973 0.0 0.1 45676 2560 ? S 17:24 0:00 /usr/
sbin/exim4 -q
102 1974 0.0 0.2 45940 3600 ? S 17:24 0:00 /usr/
sbin/exim4 -q
I shut it down using the Debian init script ('/etc/init.d/exim4
stop'), I expect all these to go away, but instead I see:
root 1244 0.0 0.2 45672 3624 ? S 17:14 0:00 /usr/
sbin/exim4 -q
root 1973 0.0 0.1 45676 2560 ? S 17:24 0:00 /usr/
sbin/exim4 -q
102 1974 0.0 0.2 45940 3600 ? S 17:24 0:00 /usr/
sbin/exim4 -q
Two wierd things here:
1. Why is it showing 102 for the user when there is a corresponding
"Debian-exim" entry for that user id?
2. Why don't the child processes quit?
I have recently used the following commands with exim... was it a
mistake to use sudo?:
sudo exim -bpc
sudo exim -qf
sudo exim -qff
