DESCRIPTION
update-exim4defaults
allows to set run parameters for the
Exim
daemon in
/etc/default/exim4.
Its main purpose is for interaction with packages enhancing
Exim
like virus-scanners that need to change the way the exim daemon is started.
OPTIONS
--help|-h
Print short usage instructions and exit.
--qflags flags
Set qflags, special flags given to exim directly after the -q. See
exim(8)
for more information.
--queuerunner combined|queueonly|separate|ppp|no|nodaemon
Should the init script start one daemon that listens on the smtp port for
incoming connections and runs the queue at regular intervals
(combined)
, or should it start two separate daemons, one listening on the smtp port,
the other running the queue
(separate)
, or should the queue only be run by /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4
(ppp)
, or shouldn't we run the queue at all, for example if you'd rather do this
with
cron
? Or should we only start a queuerunner
(queueonly)
or no daemon at all
(nodaemon)
?
--queuetime time
In which intervals should we run the queue? This passed as option
-q<qflags>time
to Exim, e.g. -q30m or -qq1h.
--commonoptions options
Options passed both to queue-running and listening instances of Exim.
--queuerunneroptions options
Options only passed to the instance of Exim running the queue.
--smtplisteneroptions options
Options only passed to the instance of Exim listening on the SMTP port.
--force|-f
Without this option
update-exim4defaults
exits with an error if at least one of the options --queuetime,
--commonoptions, --queuerunneroptions or --smtplisteneroptions is used and the
corresponding value in /etc/default/exim4 is
already
set to a nonempty value.
--remove-common option
Try to remove the given option from COMMONOPTIONS.
--remove-queue option
Try to remove the given option from QUEUERUNNEROPTIONS.
--remove-smtp option
Try to remove the given option from SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS.
The --remove-commands cannot be used at the same time as any of --commonoptions,
--queuerunneroptions or --smtplisteneroptions. The --remove-commands will
additionally remove whitespace at the beginning and the end of the option and
exchange multiple spaces wi a single one.
--init
create a default /etc/default/exim4 file and exit immediately. Unless
--force
was also specified
update-exim4defaults
exits (successfully) without doing anything if /etc/default/exim4 already
exists. All other options are ignored.
EXIT STATUS
0
change was successful or nothing needed to be done.
1
generic error: wrong options, unreadable configuration file, etc.
2
QUEUEINTERVAL was already set.
4
COMMONOPTIONS was already set.
8
QUEUERUNNEROPTIONS was already set.
16
SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS was already set.
32
QFLAGS was already set.
64
--remove-something failed, i.e. the value of the option was not changed.
Exit codes 2 to 32 will be summed up, if more than one unsuccessful option was
given.
FILES
/etc/default/exim4
The configuration file.
/etc/init.d/exim4
The Exim init-script.
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4
The queuerunner in this file also uses COMMONOPTIONS and QUEUERUNNEROPTIONS and
does not run if QUEUERUNNER=no.
BUGS
This manual page needs a major re-work. If somebody knows better groff
than us and has more experience in writing manual pages, any patches
would be greatly appreciated.
