No. > Because pid files should be there, full stop. With openrc sure but neither want nor need them with service supervision. You're certainly clever enough to see that pid files are a racy legacy kludge. It's fine to have them for backward compatibility with init systems that need them, but by now there are many different ways that we can avoid them - and that's a really good thing. I too believe that upstream would be happy to include a foreground mode without the debugging. //Peter
