I'm also not sure why you think this method will leave behind a stale pidfile. The idea is that the pidfile is pre-created with the ownership that daemon is going to su to, for the express purpose of allowing it to delete the pidfile when the process exits. If you're saying that this method doesn't work then please point out the problem ASAP because numerous ports rc.d scripts do this now. Doug --=20 It's always a long day; 86400 doesn't fit into a short. Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS. Yours for the right price. :) http://SupersetSolutions.com/ --------------enigFF0521E5838021636E017BFA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJPLno+AAoJEFzGhvEaGryElFgH/RvHS89EyN3lc2pyWH+jnkCv +U8RI1um7BsZXLh5DpqtgawGzz13x5pd8dikDqmbAoqWQwCJfGWksywdiQP+z/KW 0EM/0YKYH09EdzzyI1Vl+gkajreHHLfUTse19vDubCsKuqje4AqmMEmU4fz1ry6z fNm/UNUG42gJCi0ytL1RlEHc810g+akYkGWknjDav/RDUFINjQxmrNUWOI0WgBUx OdTg7MhdXK6LWP6kjaB/j2Ur8B5wCrhfrqFQpStVqreVhxl3aOM13wNsEPGHrd2Z xgSlyMOW/mYHMGXKzccLdSGwEKipGJ+OFYCygSRgyHj4uXuykm2gZFBSFWIP8qo= =WPR0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigFF0521E5838021636E017BFA--
