Mailing List Archive: [Bug 340] Delete the pid file when the daemon exits

http://www.exim.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=340

------- Additional Comments From kjetilho@ifi.uio.no 2006-10-05 17:36 -------
In most configurations, it is not possible to remove the file, since the user
exim isn't allowed to remove the pid file from /var/run (owned by root).

If the startup code chowns the pid file to exim_user, it can be emptied on exit.
I don't see a great need for this behaviour myself, though.
