Some programs rely on pid files. Monit monitoring service is an example: http://www.nabble.com/-monit--Check-process-without-pidfile-td21309035.html So, anyway the patch above may be usefull. You have to add --pidfile option for start-stop-daemon in this case. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
