PPS: Lets face it: The executable path alone is simply not suitable for finding the PID. I might have run a second daemon listening on another network interface, for example. I don't want that daemon killed just because the "regular" daemon was already shutdown before.
What are the odds that the pidfile is lost without killing the daemon, anyway? Looking at the scary side effects of this feature it might be reasonable to kick out the path check completely and to rely upon the pidfile only. Would you recommend to deprecate src:lsb and replace it by a cleaned up "lsbng"? Regards Harri
