It definitely fix the issue.
The start-stop-daemon man page clearly states though, that --background should only be used as a last resort. I would consider this a hack, at best. Personally, I'd create a subdirectory in /var/run in your init script before starting the daemon and make sure, the daemon has write permissions in that directory. Or you change the code in the daemon, to drop privs *after* writing the pidfile. Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
