--------------------------------
Please note that the commit log says the default is /home/ross/.qpidd. It is
not. The command shell expanded the $HOME I typed and replaced it with my home
directory.
The default is $HOME/.qpidd where $HOME expands to the home directory of the
current user.
> Improvements to daemon mode operations

> Key: QPID-1114
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-1114
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++ Broker
> Affects Versions: M3
> Reporter: Ted Ross
> Assignee: Ted Ross
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: M3
>
>
> This update improves daemon-mode operation of the C++ broker.
> When run as a daemon (--daemon), the broker currently creates a PID file
> specific to the port the broker is listening on. This allows multiple
> daemons to run simultaneously on the same system. The PID file is stored in
> "/var/run" if the broker is running as root, otherwise, it is stored in
> "/tmp".
> The problem with this is that since it is recommended that the broker not run
> as root for security reasons, installed/deployed brokers write their PID
> files to /tmp. This is not the right place for such a file and may run afoul
> of the security policy on the system it is installed on. It also means that
> root users can't use the --quit option to stop daemons that were started by
> non-root users.
> This update does the following:
> 1) Removes the root/not-root distinction and always defaults to "/tmp". This
> is useful for developers who run the broker from SVN and not as a service.
> 2) Provides a new option "--pid-dir" that allows the configuration (command
> line, file, or env-variables) to control the directory for PID file storage.
> 3) Adds a line to the default configuration file (/etc/qpidd.conf) that sets
> the pid-dir to "/var/run/qpidd". This is useful for real deployment.
> 4) Adds commands in the install spec-file to create /var/run/qpidd with read
> and write access for user "qpidd"
