.SH NAME
update-exim4defaults \- Manage exim4 daemon default file.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B update-exim4defaults
.I [ --qflags flags ]
.I [ --queuerunner combined|separate|no ]
.I [ --queuetime time ]
.I [ --commonoptions options ]
.I [ --queuerunneroptions options ]
.I [ --smtplisteneroptions options ]
.I [ --remove-common options ]
.I [ --remove-queue options ]
.I [ --remove-smtp options ]
.I [ --force|-f ]
.I [ --help|-h ]
.I [ --init ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B update-exim4defaults
allows to set run parameters for the
.B Exim
daemon in
.I /etc/default/exim4.
Its main purpose is for interaction with packages enhancing
.B Exim
like virus-scanners that need to change the way the exim daemon is started.
.PP
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.I --help|-h
Print short usage instructions and exit.
.TP
.I --qflags flags
Set qflags, special flags given to exim directly after the "-q". See
.B exim(8)
for more information.
.TP
.I --queuerunner combined|separate|no
Should the init script start one daemon that listens on the smtp port for
incoming connections and runs the queue at regular intervals
.I (combined)
, or should it start two separate daemons, one listening on the smtp port,
the other running the queue
.I (separate)
, or shouldn't we run the queue at all, for example if you'd rather do this
with
.B cron?
.TP
.I --queuetime time
In which intervals should we run the queue? This passed as option
.I -q<qflags>time
to Exim, e.g. -q30m or -qq1h.
.TP
.I --commonoptions options
Options passed both to queue-running and listening instances of Exim.
.TP
.I --queuerunneroptions options
Options only passed to the instance of Exim running the queue.
.TP
.I --smtplisteneroptions options
Options only passed to the instance of Exim listening on the SMTP port.
.TP
.I --force|-f
Without this option
.B 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
.I already
set to a nonempty value.
.TP
.I --remove-common option
Try to remove the given option from COMMONOPTIONS.
.TP
.I --remove-queue option
Try to remove the given option from QUEUERUNNEROPTIONS.
.TP
.I --remove-smtp option
Try to remove the given option from SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS.
.PP
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 begining and the end of the option and
exchange multiple spaces wi a single one.
.TP
.I --init
create a default /etc/default/exim4 file and exit immediately. Unless
.I ---force
was also specified
.B update-exim4defaults
exits (successfully) without doing anything if /etc/default/exim4 already
exists. All other options are ignored.
.SH EXIT STATUS
.TP
.I 0
change was successfull or nothing needed to be done.
.TP
.I 1
generic error: wrong options, unreadable configuration file, etc.
.TP
.I 2
QUEUEINTERVAL was already set.
.TP
.I 4
COMMONOPTIONS was already set.
.TP
.I 8
QUEUERUNNEROPTIONS was already set.
.TP
.I 16
SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS was already set.
.TP
.I 32
QFLAGS was already set.
.TP
.I 64
--remove-something failed, i.e. the value of the option was not changed.
.PP
Exit codes 2 to 32 will be summed up, if more than one unsuccesful option was
given.
.SH FILES
.TP
.I /etc/default/exim4
The configuration file.
.TP
.I /etc/init.d/exim4
The Exim init-script.
.TP
.I /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4
The queuerunner in this file also uses COMMONOPTIONS and QUEUERUNNEROPTIONS and
does not run if QUEUERUNNER=no.
