The solution then is to make a directory below var/run/ and run the daemon as a dedicated user (or daemon). for instance var/run/anon-proxy/foo.pid Another option is to stop proxytest from forking and daemonizing itself and let start-stop-daemon handle all of that. > Also, is it really release critical that it use --pidfile ? Probably not, tho I highly recommend it. -- Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
