    Do an "ls /etc/init.d" to see what's listed. In mine I saw "exim4".

    So you should be able to do:

    /etc/init.d/exim4 stop
    /etc/init.d/exim4 start
    /etc/init.d/exim4 restart

    Well, I think the geeky way is to remove/edit symlinks in /etc/init.d
    or some place. I've found the "sysv-rc-conf" package to work
    WONDERFULLY well for managing when processes run. I'd suggest using
    aptitude/apt-get to install it and check it out (type sysv-rc-conf at
    the prompt). Make sure to run it as root; once it's running you can
    type "h" for help to understand what everything means and how to do
    it.

    Ben
