What is the intended use case for -u? Or, to put it another way, why is this something that needs fixing? My own reaction is that if you're using -u, it's not appropriate to write the usual system-wide PID file in its usual place, which makes this a feature rather than a bug. So there obviously is something different between what I've got in mind and what you do. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
