Nice. Unfortunately, rsync doesn't seem to write its pidfile to /var/run, and doesn't seem to even _support_ doing so. As a result, the rc system is unable to determine when it's running, thus stop and restart work poorly. Is there a mechanism within the rc system that can work around this so the rc script can be improved? -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
