Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.23 Here is a way to cause start-stop-daemon to not create a pidfile. This seems like a bug.
# killall sshd # cp -pr ssh ssh-x # start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/sshd-x.pid --exec /usr/sbin/sshd -- -f /etc/ssh-x/sshd_config # cat /var/run/sshd-x.pid cat: /var/run/sshd-x.pid: No such file or directory Linux ltsp1 2.6.7 #11 SMP Mon Sep 6 13:07:49 IST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux glibc 2.3.2.ds1-11
