I see nothing wrong with that behavior except for the fact that it is different from the current behavior. The current behavior is reasonable, so I wouldn't advise changing it. People use start-stop-daemon in a variety of ways and often make assumptions that the program works exactly as it does now. > Also what happens when "-m|--make-pidfile" is used?

The meaning could be defined to be "delete the pidfile after stop". That makes sense as a wishlist item. -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
