[Salvatore Bonaccorso]

Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.69-2
Severity: minor


Hi

When I try to restart exim4 I get the following warning:

lorien:/etc/init.d# invoke-rc.d exim4 restart
Stopping MTA for restart:/sbin/start-stop-daemon: signal value must be numeric or name of signal (KILL, INT, ...)
Try `/sbin/start-stop-daemon --help' for more information.
 exim4_listener.
Restarting MTA: exim4.
lorien:/etc/init.d# 

Best regards,
Salvatore Bonaccorso

I didn't found a yet open bugreport on it (if so please excuse me).
