Exim queue runner interval



Hi,

I installed the exim4 package, and it looks like the default configuration has 
a queue runner going every 30 minutes.  I'd like to change this to a shorter 
interval.  The exim daemon is started by /etc/init.d/exim4, the line is:

      start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/exim4/exim.pid \
        --exec $DAEMON -- -bd -q${QFLAGS}${QUEUEINTERVAL} \
        ${COMMONOPTIONS} ${QUEUERUNNEROPTIONS} ${SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS}

I changed:

QUEUEINTERVAL='30m'

to:

QUEUEINTERVAL='5m'

However, ps reports that the deamon is still running with these options:

/usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m

Does anyone know what needs to be changed to get the exim deamon to run with 
the shorter queue interval?  (Yes, I did restart the daemon after the 
changes, in fact I rebooted the machine) ;-)

Thanks,

Udo Hoerhold
