Bug#284873: no pidfile is written when SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS non-empty

[Marc Haber]

Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.43-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

when SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS is set to a non-empty value, no pid file is
being written, which prevents the Daemon from being stopped.

[2/501]mh@vash:~$ pstree -ap | grep exim4
[3/502]mh@vash:~$ sudo ls -al /var/run/exim4/
total 8
drwxr-x---   2 Debian-exim Debian-exim 4096 Dec  9 10:20 .
drwxr-xr-x  17 root        root        4096 Dec  9 09:52 ..
[4/503]mh@vash:~$ grep SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS /etc/default/exim4
SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS='-oX 465 -oX 25'
[5/504]mh@vash:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/exim4 start
Starting MTA: exim4.
[6/505]mh@vash:~$ pstree -ap | grep exim4
