Correct. As a suggestion, I'd store the pidfiles under /run/your-program-name/, under names like worker:0.pid, and main.pid or somesuch. start-stop-daemon can be of great help here, but unfortunately, I don't recall any package off the top of my head that would serve as a good example, even though I know I've met one or two.. :( -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
