I start mlnet, the daemon part of mldonkey, from it's local rc.d script on bootup. If mlnet isn't shutdown properly, it leaves behind a pid file that prevents the daemon running until I notice and manually delete the file. What's the best way to deal with this? I was wondering if there is some standard place to clean-up after an improper shutdown. Is mlnet doing something wrong? I don't get the same problem with other daemons.
