    Default Service Status for Exim failed (again)

    Dear all,

    I've been dealing with WHM server status false alarm toward exim, as I stated here:
    Service Status for Exim failed

    It's solved. So WHM can see that exim is up. But after some time, the case repeated - WHM said that exim is dead - again and again, and I get bunch of this, either via email or from /var/log/chkservd.log

    Code:
    Service Check Started
    [2010-10-19 11:20:36 +0700] Service check ....syslogd [[check command:+][tcp connect:N/A]]...sshd [[check command:+][tcp connect:N/A]]...queueprocd [[check command:+][tcp connec
    t:N/A]]...exim [TCP Transaction Log:

    ]...cpsrvd [[check command:N/A][tcp connect:+]]...cpanellogd [[check command:+][tcp connect:N/A]]...Done

    Can anyone tell what does it means, and how do I cure it. Even though it happens occasionally, I think there is something wrong with my system.

    regards,

    Hello,

    It seem to be a bug, try running this:

    Code:
    cd /var/cpanel/serviceauth/
    rm -rf exim
    /scripts/upcp --force
    to fix the auth part, or this if you also get "Timeout while trying to get data from service":

    Code:
    wget -O /scripts/buildeximconf \http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/autofixer/buildeximconf
    chmod 700 /scripts/buildeximconf
    /scripts/buildeximconf
    /scripts/restartsrv_exim
    Dan.

    Hello, thank you for your reply.

    Just be able to get back here and see your reply.

    I'm a bit paranoid about install or just run something at this machine (for it's not actually mine).

    Can you please explains what do this scripts do? I need to know to explain this when I'm asked what I'm doin.

    Code:
    /scripts/upcp --force
    
    /scripts/buildeximconf
    
    /scripts/restartsrv_exim
    Thanks and regards
