.SH NAME
|
|
exiwhat \- Finding out what Exim processes are doing
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B exiwhat
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
On operating systems that can restart a system call after receiving a
|
|
signal (most modern OS), an
|
|
.B Exim
|
|
process responds to the SIGUSR1 signal by writing a line describing what
|
|
it is doing to the file exim\-process.info in the Exim spool directory.
|
|
The
|
|
.B exiwhat
|
|
script sends the signal to all
|
|
.B Exim
|
|
processes it can find, having first emptied the file.
|
|
It then waits for one second to allow the
|
|
.B Exim
|
|
processes to react before displaying the results.
|
|
In order to run
|
|
.B exiwhat
|
|
successfully you have to have sufficient privilege to send the signal to
|
|
the
|
|
.B Exim
|
|
processes, so it is normally run as root.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, the
|
|
.B ps
|
|
command which
|
|
.B exiwhat
|
|
uses to find
|
|
.B Exim
|
|
processes varies in different operating systems.
|
|
Not only are different options used, but the format of the output is
|
|
different.
|
|
For this reason, there are some system configuration options that configure
|
|
exactly how
|
|
.B exiwhat
|
|
works.
|
|
If it doesn't seem to be working for you, check the following compile-time
|
|
options:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I EXIWHAT_PS_CMD
|
|
the command for running \(lqps\(rq
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I EXIWHAT_PS_ARG
|
|
the argument for \(lqps\(rq
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I EXIWHAT_EGREP_ARG
|
|
the argument for \(lqegrep\(rq to select from \(lqps\(rq output
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I EXIWHAT_KILL_ARG
|
|
the argument for the \(lqkill\(rq command
|
|
.PP
|
|
An example of typical output from
|
|
.B exiwhat
|
|
is
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
164 daemon: -q1h, listening on port 25
|
|
10483 running queue: waiting for 0tAycK-0002ij-00 (10492)
|
|
10492 delivering 0tAycK-0002ij-00 to mail.ref.example [10.19.42.42]
|
|
(editor@ref.example)
|
|
10592 handling incoming call from [192.168.243.242]
|
|
10628 accepting a local non-SMTP message
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
The first number in the output line is the process number.
|
|
The third line has been split here, in order to fit it on the page.
