Now, kill all running exims manually, start one again, and then invoke start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/exim4/exim.pid --oknodo --retry 30 --exec /usr/sbin/exim4 and see whether the daemon stops, and/or the pid file still exists. An strace -f of that start-stop-daemon issue would be great as well. > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# su -s /bin/bash -c "cp /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template > /var/run/exim4" Debian-exim > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -al /var/run/exim4 > total 73 > drwxr-x--- 2 Debian-exim Debian-exim 88 Nov 6 03:43 . > drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 1048 Nov 5 21:31 .. > -rw-r--r-- 1 Debian-exim Debian-exim 73147 Nov 6 03:43 exim4.conf.template Fine. So there is nothing wrong with the file system. You can delete that file again.
