Okay, thanks, that makes sense. 1. Is the sed =E2=80=9Chack=E2=80=9D okay for now? Are there any risks = with modifying the pid file after it=E2=80=99s been created (too early, = too late etc.)? 2. If this is a bug in /etc/rc.subr, how do I report it? I=E2=80=99m new = to FreeBSD. :-) Cheers, Adam -- Adam Lindberg | Backend Engineer Wooga GmbH | Saarbr=C3=BCcker Str. 38 | D-10405 Berlin Place of business: Berlin Registered at the local court Berlin-Charlottenburg, HRB 117846 B Managing Directors: Jens Begemann, Philipp M=C3=B6ser, Jan Miczaika > On 25 May 2016, at 21:26 , RW via freebsd-questions = <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> wrote: >=20 > On Wed, 25 May 2016 17:12:36 +0200 > Adam Lindberg wrote: >=20 >> Hi, >>=20 >> I don=E2=80=99t know what powerd is and how it factors into this. :-) >=20 > It's an example of a daemon that generates a pid file without a > newline, and yet "stop" and "status" work. >=20 > It turns out that /etc/rc.d/powerd doesn't define pidfile, in which > case rc.subr finds the pid from the output of ps.
