Fair enough, didn't think about that. > It would be possible to make a directory, (/var/run/dnsmasq) and > unlink files from that, but moving the pid file is a potentially > disruptive change for no real benefit. I don't see how this could be disruptive, really, especially since the directory already exists for resolv.conf. The PID file is *run-time* information, so a simple restart would fix it. The status quo just makes it impossible to start/stop dnsmasq in a controlled way without running extra brittle steps. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems "god is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh." -- voltaire
