Summary: exiwhat should automatically fall back to ps/kill if
multikill not available
Product: Exim
Version: 4.69
Platform: Other
URL: http://bugs.debian.org/476455
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Unfiled
AssignedTo: nigel@xxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: mh+exim-bugzilla@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi,

please consider applying the following patch to exiwhat:

--- exim4-4.69~/build-tree/src/exiwhat.src 2008-04-20 08:57:51.000000000
+0200
+++ exim4-4.69/build-tree/src/exiwhat.src 2008-04-20 09:02:04.000000000

@@ -109,7 +109,7 @@
# Solaris, "killall" kills ALL processes - this is the System V version of
this
# command, and not what we want!

-if [ "$multikill_cmd" != "" ] ; then
+if [ "$multikill_cmd" != "" ] && which "$multikill_cmd" > /dev/null; then
$multikill_cmd $signal "$multikill_arg"

# No multikill command; do it the hard way

This makes exiwhat work even if the multikill command is not present (which may
happen on Debian if the psmisc package is not installed).

It seems small enough; you should make a (probably wishlist) bug and attach the patch so it isn't lost in the mailing list noise. johannes signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
