20 The shell script called exiwhat first of all empties the
21 processlog file in Exim's log directory. It then uses the ps
22 command to find all processes running exim, and sends each
23 one the SIGUSR1 signal. This causes each process to write a
24 single line describing its current activity to the
25 processlog file. The script waits a bit, then copies the
26 file to the standard output.

35 The first number in the output line is the process number; the second is the Exim version number. The third line has been split here, in order to fit it on the page. Because Exim processes run under a variety of uids, it is necessary to run exiwhat as root in order to be able to send the signal to all Exim processes.
