[gentoo-user] exim-4.50-r1: fails to stop via init.d,
I am using exim-4.50-r1, and it does not stop via /etc/init.d/exim stop . It simply gives !!. More detailed errors on that sure would be nice. Looking into this, it's not creating the pid file specified in the init.d script. I have to kill exim manually, then pass zap to the init.d script to straighten things out. Has anybody else seem this? My permissions sure seem fine. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Some programs drop root privileges before starting, so you need the chmod 1777 /var/run. Thanks for the reply. /var/run is 1777 (it was before), yet it still never creates /var/run/exim.pid . -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Sounds like a duh fix to me, makes me wonder why it hasn't been fixed. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79743 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
