Eximstats Failing

[snipe]

Every few minutes or so, I get an email:

 

Subject: eximstats on 614822.servernode.net failed

 

eximstats failed @ Sun Mar 28 03:50:14 2004. A restart was attempted automagicly.

 

I have eximstats unchecked in the WHM tweaks - why is this still happening? I can see its barfing because the eximstats database does not exist (tho I'm not sure why).

 

How do I either 1) quickly fix eximstats OR quickly disable it altogether?

 

Thanks!

I figured I'd post the closest thing to an answer that I could work out, since no one else seemed to know, and it may come up again.

 

Despite the fact that I had disabled eximstats in the WHM "Tweak settings" area, it continued to send me an email every 5 minutes telling me that eximstats failed. I wasn't losing any sleep over the fact that eximstats wasn't working, but the emails were driving me crazy.

 

Upon looking at the error log, the reason for its failure is because the mysql database for eximstats was never created. The SQL code is located (at least on my server) at /usr/local/cpanel/etc/eximstats.sql. (Typing "locate eximstats" from the command line will tell you where your eximstats stuff is)

 

That .sql file contains the mysql code needed to manually create the eximstats database. After I did that, nomore emails, and eximstats is working.

 

Now... I just need to figure out why I can't turn it off...
