Good morning,

when i am restarting exim, i am root.
I am using the suse linux rc script:

killproc -p /var/run/exim.pid -TERM /usr/sbin/exim
startproc -p /var/run/exim.pid /usr/sbin/exim -bp -q1m

This is what is being done when restarting the mail server.
Also when i have stopped the exim, it is also gone in process table.

Also with lsof - theres no more exim process if exim has stopped, as far as
i can see.

Exim has the rights "-rwsr-xr-x" (with setuid bit set) owned by root/root.
When it is starting, it is changing to uid 8 gid 12. Thats the mail user of
the system.


Regards,
Juergen

Is this a permissions thing?  Who are you, when you restart exim - and how
are you restarting it?
