Same for me. I added some debugging info to /etc/init.d/speechd-up, and it turns out that the error is generated because the /proc/$pid in running_pid() doesn't exist. It should exist as the call to start_daemon() in start_server() was successful. When I run the command that I think is executed there manually, the daemon starts properly and the dir in /proc exists: paul@testavoira ~ $ sudo /sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --nicelevel 0 --quiet --oknodo --chdir "$PWD" --exec /usr/bin/speechd-up --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/speechd-up.pid -- -l1 [Sun Apr 16 21:49:40 2017] speechd: Configuration has been read from "/etc/speechd-up.conf" paul@testavoira ~ $ ll -d /proc/$(cat /var/run/speechd-up.pid) dr-xr-xr-x 9 root root 0 apr 16 21:49 /proc/6276 I haven't figured out the difference yet.
