The old processes remain with old settings and cause unexpected behaviors. The detail of this bug is described in this ticket in upstream: https://github.com/acassen/keepalived/issues/443. The official systemd unit file is available since version 1.2.24 by this commit: https://github.com/acassen/keepalived/commit/635ab69afb44cd8573663e62f292c6bb84b44f15 This includes "PIDFile" directive correctly: PIDFile=/var/run/keepalived.pid We should go the same way. I am using Ubuntu 16.04.1, kernel 4.4.0-45-generic.
