Follow Rick's recommendation.... I have tried it. At least on an earlier Fedora with SysV. The specified PID file is NOT created. Service stop fails because the PID file is not found. What you and others seem to be telling me is that the problem doesn't exist on systemd machines, even though the man page implies that it still works the same way. I'll try F21 soon. -- Dave Close -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
