Yes, I've tested it. BackupPC always creates a PID file even in non-daemon
mode (BackupPC checks it to see if another copy is running already).
I only started using systemd a week ago :), so I appreciate the
suggestions. I agree the PIDFile isn't needed, but it does remove it if
BackupPC isn't running, which is a small bit of useful housekeeping.
I am hoping to get 4.1.0 out soon. I decided to make the next version
4.1.0 instead of 4.0.1 since there are a couple of new features
(BackupPC_migrateV3toV4, new CSS from Ernesto, systemd config, changes to
configure.pl) and one relatively significant bug fix (exponential expiry of
backups from Alexander), in addition to several more minor bug fixes
(fixing umask, nmblookup hosts in rsync, more robust checking that
IO::Dirent works, better handing of empty reference counts per backup by
BackupPC_refCntUpdate, fixing exit status in UserCommandRun(), BackupPC
exit 0 following SIGTERM, etc).
There are two open issues (#64
<https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/64> and #65
<https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/65>) that I haven't been able
to replicate that ideally I'd like to root cause before releasing. I have
open suggestions to each reporter to help debug. Does anyone else have
open 4.x issues (other than local config etc)?
