The files are of course deleted between shutdown and boot.  If the system is
rebooted, it's no longer a warm start.  That's why they're written to /run,
which is not persistent across reboots.

I think -w being a separate option to rpcbind, and throwing a warning when
the file is not found, are both silly and this should be corrected upstream,
not worked around in the upstart job.
