Hi All,

I know this thread had some activity a day or two ago, but it just
occurred to me that inn tests the presence of /var/run/innd.pid to
determine whether a system crash has happened when rebooting. If that file
is present, it starts inn differently and launches a renumber, etc. This
is not only in inn-1.5.1, but in prior versions also. This may not be the
only system that uses this technique.
