You can have it run as a daemon if you so desire. You'll comment out the line in /etc/inetd.conf, and comment out the exit 0 near the top of /etc/init.d/exim. Then /etc/init.d/exim start... But, unless you have a lot of mail coming through on a continual basis, I doubt there's any advantage to having it as a daemon. -- ++ | Eric G.

The maintainer scripts try to make the required changes automatically, but it doesn't always work. The changes should have comments next to them.

In linux.debian.user, you wrote: Hi all, Just upgraded from slink to potato and seem to be having a few mail troubles. How can I tell if exim is running? It never shows up in pstree? Patrick Also.. when you upgraded exim, you should have seen an install message telling you that the format of the exim file has changed. You need to go verify the changes and then check the exim entry in /etc/inetd.conf (search for disabled or exim and you'll find it) You'll also have to restart inetd (/etc/init.d/inetd restart)
Re: Just went tp potato
What does restarting inetd do?
Re: Just went tp potato
reloads the inetd.conf file...
