Hi again!

Next problem trying to install Exim 4.98 (compiled from source) on a
fresh Debian 12...

I always used a start script that started these instances:

    start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/exim1.pid --quiet
--exec $DAEMON -- "-bd"
    echo "exim runner 1"
    start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/exim2.pid --quiet
--exec $DAEMON -- "-q 5m"
    echo "exim runner 2"
    start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/exim3.pid --quiet
--exec $DAEMON -- "-qff 1h"


Now, it only can start exim -bd...
For exim -q and exim -qff 1h I always get an error:

root@root2507:/etc/exim# /opt/exim/bin/exim -q 5m
exim abandoned: unknown, malformed, or incomplete option -q

What am I doing wrong this time?

P.S.: I know, I should write a systemd Unit file for exim...
I'll do it as soon as I know how to start the new version on Debian 12...

Thanks
