The first entry is just doing a mail queue run to clear any queued e-mails.
The remaining lines clean up exim's hints files.
I'm presuming somewhere else you are starting up exim as a daemon to
listen on port 25 for incoming e-mail. Try /etc/init.d or /etc/rc2.d
(depending on your O/S). You may want to look for 'sendmail' as
sometimes the 'sendmail' executable is simply symbolically linked to exim.
Cheers.

I have a server running many processes. ps -A lists them repeatedly in the
following order: exim3, cron, sh. cron.d seems to have the only relevent
entry (exim) that contains:
/etc/cron.d/exim:
08,23,38,53 8 * * * mail if [ -x /usr/lib/exim/exim3 -a -f
/etc/exim/exim.conf]; then /usr/lib/exim/exim3 -q; fi
# Tidy databases
13 6 * * * mail if [ -x /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb ]; then
/usr/sbin/exim_tidydb
/var/spool/exim retry >/dev/null; fi
17 6 * * * mail if [ -x /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb ]; then
/usr/sbin/exim_tidydb
/var/spool/exim wait-remote_smtp >/dev/null; fi
I plan on upgrading, but is this exim or something else?
Thanks,
Chase
