Hi, rsync when run as a daemon from /etc/rc.d/rsyncd writes it's own pid file to /var/run/rsyncd.pid this conflicts with the start-stop script which also writes the pid file. I couldn't get rsync to start as a daemon after upgrading yesterday, without commenting out the line in the start-stop script: case "$1" in start) stat_busy "Starting rsyncd" [ ! -f /var/run/daemons/rsyncd ] && /usr/bin/rsync --daemon if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then stat_fail else # pgrep -of "/usr/bin/rsync --daemon" > /var/run/rsyncd.pid add_daemon rsyncd stat_done fi ;; Should I report this as a bug, I have searched bugs.archlinux.org for rsync with no results, and also in the forums. cheers Chris
