-f, --force
ignore nonexistent files and arguments, never prompt
That isn't the point, the script is going to remove any file passed
to the function with the -p <filespec> argument.
It will also execute rm -f "" everytime it is run without passing -p
<filespec> and the daemon is not running as pidfile is always unset
without passing -p <filespec>

Maybe you don't care but I care about correctness.
Your distro, your rules.
Well I have hear that bed time story before.
So are you implying that you don't accept input from people
using/following/building LFS?
Should I only fix things and use them only on my system?
Or not to post and forward things to promote discussion?
I can do that.....
I was of the opinion that LFS was some what a community affair, maybe I
am wrong in thinking so?
