Subject: Under most circumstances, rrdcached can detect a stale pid file.
X-Git-Url: https://git.verplant.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=607eea59c2ba85c63e2de1b665b37a6093e1575c;p=rrdtool.git

Under most circumstances, rrdcached can detect a stale pid file.

If the process in the pid file does not exist, or cannot be signalled by
the rrdcached owner, then rrdcached will replace the pid file and start
normally.  Otherwise, it will complain verbosely to STDERR.
