[Pkg-exim4-users] multiple copies of exim4 running

[Gerard Hooton]

Hello all,


If i do a ps I see multiple copies of exim4 running


Example:


ps -elf |grep exim
5 S 102      10581     1  0  80   0 -  3492 -      14:00 ?        00:00:00
/usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m
1 S 102      10709 10581  0  80   0 -  3494 -      14:15 ?        00:00:00
/usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m
1 S 102      10722 10581  0  80   0 -  3494 -      14:15 ?        00:00:00
/usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m


I see that 10581 is the one started by init.d/exim4 and all the rest are
child processes of it.


This is a very low volume server, I see about 20 emails per day.


System info:


OS: Debian Lenny (Linux scoil 2.6.26-1-686 #1 SMP Wed Nov 26 19:14:11 UTC
2008 i686 GNU/Linux)


Exim 4.69


Any ideas?
