Why cannot access to eximon, exiqgrep?

[tom300]

I cannot make work eximon or exiqgrep (-bash: eximon: commnad not found) when I am logon as root but exisumm works well. Maybe they are not installed? Not included in DA? I have not found any comments on these two scripts in the forum.

These are the exim utilities included with the DA exim install:

# ls -1 /usr/sbin/exi*
/usr/sbin/exicyclog
/usr/sbin/exigrep
/usr/sbin/exim
/usr/sbin/exim_checkaccess
/usr/sbin/exim_dbmbuild
/usr/sbin/exim_dumpdb
/usr/sbin/exim_fixdb
/usr/sbin/exim_lock
/usr/sbin/eximstats
/usr/sbin/exim_tidydb
/usr/sbin/exinext
/usr/sbin/exiqsumm
/usr/sbin/exiwhat

I can't find them either.

Note that exiqgrep is not listed in jlasman's quote above.

Where is it DA?

I see exigrep listed in Jeff's quote. However, I don't see exiggrep. Is that a typo or really another exim utility that is different than exigrep? I ran Jeff's command on my system and this is what I have:

# ls -1 /usr/sbin/exi*
/usr/sbin/exicyclog
/usr/sbin/exigrep
/usr/sbin/exim
/usr/sbin/exim_checkaccess
/usr/sbin/exim_dbmbuild
/usr/sbin/exim_dumpdb
/usr/sbin/exim_fixdb
/usr/sbin/exim_lock
/usr/sbin/eximstats
/usr/sbin/exim_tidydb
/usr/sbin/exinext
/usr/sbin/exiqsumm
/usr/sbin/exiwhat

It is another utility (not exigrep, but exiqgrep). Check the sources for exim and you will see it there. It is a perl script.

I've placed exiqgrep on my site some time ago:

http://www.nobaloney.net/downloads/exim/

Note I've renamed it to .txt so you can easily download it. Download it to your /usr/sbin directory and rename it to remove the .txt suffix.

I've never needed eximon, so I've never put it up. Let me know if it's important to you by posting here and the next time I have the chance i'll put it up as well.

eximon would be useful.

 

[nobaloney]

eximon would be useful.

I've made a note to put it on our download server; hopefully today.

Well, I just looked at it, and now I know why I haven't done it, and why I'm not going to do it, at least any time soon.

The configuration is complex; it's not just a simple script that'll work everywhere.

Perhaps DirectAdmin staff would figure out a way to include it.

I know that I had removed it a long time ago for a reason...

I looked at it again to see if I could remember why (by trying to install it).
Fairly quickly I figured out that it's an "X" monitor.. meaning it's a program to be run in your server GUI (gnome, etc) for monitoring the mail queue. This needs a whole pile of X11 libraries to do (which I never install)... that aside, DA is meant to *be* the GUI... so basically, having the "Mail Queue Administration" is the eximon replacement.

Correct me if I'm wrong about what eximon actually does
If it does some nifty things that the Mail Q Admin doesn't do, let me know what, if it's appropriate to consider for adding.

I realize this thread "died" in 2008 but just wanted to give my input.

We scp'd exiqgrep from our cpanel servers to each DA server and it works 100% no issue.

 

[nobaloney]

The exiqgrep program works fine for me as well.

We've had a copy of it on our website for some time, renamed to exiqgrep.txt. You can download it here (nobaloney.net), but be sure to rename it and give it the proper ownership and permissions when you install it on your server.
