Okay, perhaps I'm just being dense since I don't use the old bootscripts
anymore, but wouldn't this simple change solve our ills with the samba
script and others? I mean, they seem to run correctly with the new
pidofproc, which should be more transparent as to how they work, but
this seems the best, IMO, to avoid a big change in the current scripts.
And as a side effect, we get a cool little change from yellow WARN to
green OK on screen. :-) For those affected, can you create a backup and
give this change a try and test? Works for samba and stale pids, or is
that not the only issue to work around WRT to improper PIDFILE handling?
