This is true, but it is the only way to make things work: - when using --background, start-stop-daemon does a double fork, to orphan the (grand)child from the parent. - pioneers-console must write its own pidfile; if start-stop-daemon does that, it writes the dying child's pid. The running grandchild's pid is not recorded. - The directory is needed because pioneers-meta-server isn't allowed to write to /var/run. If your patch works (I didn't test yet), then start-stop-daemon is probably changed. Do you know if this is the case? Thanks, Bas
