Details

Description: The exim rc script reuses the PID variable in both the stop() and start() functions. This causes the restart() function to fail whenever exim is running, because the start() function uses the PID variable to test for a running exim. The PID variable needs to be initialized at the start of both start() and stop(), rather than globally in the script.


Additional info:
exim-4.68-2

Steps to reproduce:
Run /etc/rc.d/exim restart when restart is running.

Hm, it seems that the only person except you, Andreas, and Tobias (tpowa) (both of you did update to it only when it was absolutely necessary) who updated it recently was Judd.
Thus I assing it to Eric for now, considering it as a candidate for the cleanup process.
