The responses are all on target. All of the exits are called when they are defined to be called. It is likely not going to be overly helpful to count how many times.
Whether or not your exit routine is doing anything useful can only be determined by examining the routine and understanding the exit. And, yes, for a given exit routine you could set a SLIP instruction fetch trap on the entry to the routine to see if the routine ever gets control. But unless your exit is being defined for a situation that you do not have in your shop, it will get control.
