Hi, I notice we removed the pid file after the server starts, Maybe it is because that pid file is not easy to be maintained.
But in many cases, pid file is useful, especially if we want to make iotdb as a service in linux-like OS. So, I'd like to revert the behavior that recording the pid into a file after iotdb starts up. Meanwhile, it is also ok to keep current check_running_process() in start-server.sh, who uses "lsof -i: port" to check whether iotdb is alive.
