is another master still running

I'm trying to run two instances of cyrusimap for configurationpurposes to avoid destroying vendor supplied functionality on one IPwhile I utilize upstream functionality on the another IP.

While I can specify the alternate config file to use, it seems I havean issue with a pid file.


Here's the log error:

Jun 1 05:23:22 dellc master[2601]: cannot get exclusive lock onpidfile (is another master still running?)

Jun  1 05:23:22 dellc master[2601]: exiting

How do I specify an alternate pid file to avoid the conflict or isthere another/better solution for this??



I made the assumption that the default config file was cyrus.conf.

cyrus is started with the following command through launchd: (Thisis how my vendor starts things)

/usr/bin/cyrus/bin/master -c /etc/cyrusalt.conf

Launchd is a daemon startup processing environment and it doesallowse some flexibility of adding additional arguments.




Here's the current launchd script for the alt config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

Here is the /etc/cyrusalt.conf file: (hope this is correct)
