exiwhat !!!exiwhat NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION SEE ALSO AUTHOR ---- !!NAME exiwhat - programs to query what running exim processes are doing !!SYNOPSIS __exiwhat__ !!DESCRIPTION The shell script called exiwhat first of all empties the processlog file in Exim's log directory. It then uses the ps command to find all processes running exim, and sends each one the SIGUSR1 signal. This causes each process to write a single line describing its current activity to the processlog file. The script waits a bit, then copies the file to the standard output. 164 0.53 daemon: -q1h, listening on port 25 10483 0.54 running queue: waiting for 0tAycK-0002ij-00 (10492) 10492 0.54 delivering 0tAycK-0002ij-00 to mail.ref.book [[42.42.42.42] (editor@ref.book) 10592 0.53 handling incoming call from [[245.211.243.242] 10628 0.54 accepting a local non-SMTP message 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. !!SEE ALSO There is extensive documentation available in ''/usr/share/doc/exim'' and in the info system regarding exim. Please be sure to have the __exim-doc__ package installed. !!AUTHOR This manual page was stiched together by Christoph Lameter ----
