I have always though that pid files were supposed to go in /var/run by convention. I'm probably late in the news but can someone explain rationales behind that? I'm guessing that it is to avoid problems with /var being a mounted fs and make sure that pidfile dir is always there by putting it in the rootfs. but then, isn't it a bit awkward considering the recent change to deprecate /bin /lib and /sbin?? ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY : This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be privileged.
