Hi, Today I received a bug report to mv sensorsd's pid file from /var/run/sensorsd.pid to /var/run/sensorsd/sensorsd.pid, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851428 As discussed there, I think / guess that the same request has probably been made for other daemons and I'm not sure if that is a good idea, because: /var/run/$name.pid is the standard pid file location for daemons and has been so for ages. A lot of distros depend on this, and we used to depend on it until we moved to systemd which no longer cares about pid files. Let me quote a snippet from /etc/init.d/functions # Set $pid to pids from /var/run* for {program}. $pid should be declared # local in the caller. # Returns LSB exit code for the 'status' action. __pids_var_run() { local base=${1##*/} local pid_file=${2:-/var/run/$base.pid} Making the requested change means making changes to the daemon C-code, and if we then upstream these changes, they will cause issues for other distro's. So I think that upstreaming the necessary changes is going to be a problem. Regards, Hans -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
