I'm trying to create an rc script for the first time following the guide
in the handbook. The script works as expected except for the pidfile
which is created in /tmp for some reason I can't figure out. The daemon
I try to run is a Linux program if that matters. Any help to solve this
would be appreciated. Here's the rc script:


#!/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: linuxdaemon
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING DAEMON
# BEFORE:  LOGIN
# KEYWORD: shutdown

linuxdaemon_enable="${linuxdaemon_enable-NO}"

. /etc/rc.subr

name="linuxdaemon"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command="/usr/local/bin/linuxdaemon"
command_args="-c /usr/local/etc/linuxdaemon.conf > /dev/null 2>&1"

load_rc_config $name

pidfile="/var/run/linuxdaemon.pid"
required_files="/usr/local/etc/linuxdaemon.conf"

run_rc_command "$1"


Regards
Morgan
