> 1) How can I stop and restart exim from the command line? Do an "ls /etc/init.d" to see what's listed. In mine I saw "exim4".
So you should be able to do: /etc/init.d/exim4 stop /etc/init.d/exim4 start /etc/init.d/exim4 restart > 2) How can I stop exim from loading on boot? Well, I think the geeky way is to remove/edit symlinks in /etc/init.d or some place. I've found the "sysv-rc-conf" package to work WONDERFULLY well for managing when processes run. I'd suggest using aptitude/apt-get to install it and check it out (type sysv-rc-conf at the prompt). Make sure to run it as root; once it's running you can type "h" for help to understand what everything means and how to do it. Ben
