Package: hyperestraier
Version: 1.4.1-1
Severity: normal
After a system crash hyperstraier fails to start detecting $ROOTDIR/_pid
is present even though that process is not valid anymore.
At that point if you try to stop the daemon, like shutting down the system
before
deleting the pid file the whole shutdown process freezes.
To reproduce this, start an usual hyperestraier instance, kill
the corresponding process and try to start/stop the daemon.
Attached is a patch with a fix for this issue.
