I didn't look closely.. At least sshd, ntpd, acpid, and dbus are working that way on my ubuntu system.. Some commands write a default pidfile automaticaly rather than doing nothing, but upstart and systemd eliminate the need for a pid file at all, so I prefer to see a no write option. > > If --pidfile is not given it should not drop a pidfile anyplace. > > "it" is opensm in this case?
