Service Status for Exim failed (again)

[yoachan]

Dear all,

I've been dealing with WHM server status false alarm toward exim, as I stated here:
http://forums.cpanel.net/f5/service-status-exim-failed-161202.html

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

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:

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":

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.

/scripts/upcp --force

/scripts/buildeximconf

/scripts/restartsrv_exim

Thanks and regards

Yoachan
