After reading the output of "man exim_tidydb" checked this.
$ ls -d /var/spool/exim4/db/*
/var/spool/exim4/db/retry
/var/spool/exim4/db/retry.lockfile
/var/spool/exim4/db/wait-remote_smtp_smarthost
/var/spool/exim4/db/wait-remote_smtp_smarthost.lockfile
Therefore I should try this.
$ exim_tidydb -t 1m /var/spool/exim4 retry
Two incidental questions.
(1) The man page shows option -f without explanation. How is it used?
(2) Why split the database identifier into path and file? Why not
just the fully qualified name? Eg.
exim_tidydb -t 1m /var/spool/exim4/db/retry
Might continue tomorrow or later.
Thanks for the help, ... P.
