Do you absolutely *have* to run bind? Aside from it being a 100% RFC-compliant reference server, it's a pig to run in real life. For an auth server, powerdns is very good. For a cache, unbound.
Well, not *absolutely*, but I'm an old dog used to work with old tools like bind, sendmail, etc. I'm getting older with them...
What you have here is common. Bind can't find, or can't deal with, it's PID file. Or it's just being stubborn. Check your config that the PID file is in the right place, usable and that it has the correct pid in it. Also check the init script for the same thing.
To me pid seems to be in the right place. Nothing suspicious...
Failing that, there's "kill -9", this won't break anything but might disconnect a client.
Well, I could kill the process while working in terminal. But when I forget to do it and try to shutdown server, it hangs and waits. And *that* is a problem. I have to power it off, and next time when I boot up, I have to fsck all partitions...
