bip pid file incorrectly set

[Sridhar Dhanapalan]

Binary package hint: bip

When I start bip with the initscript, it creates a pid file in /var/lib/bip/bip.pid. When I try to stop bip via the initscript, it fails. I have to manually kill bip.

root@sys:/etc# /etc/init.d/bip start
 * Starting bip bip
24-03-2008 13:52:35 WARNING: log_format does not contain %u, all users' logs will be mixed !
24-03-2008 13:52:35 Default pid file: /var/lib/bip/bip.pid
24-03-2008 13:52:35 Using default SSL certificate file: /var/lib/bip/bip.pem
   ...done.
root@sys:/etc# /etc/init.d/bip stop
 * Stopping bip bip
No process in pidfile `/var/run/bip/bip.pid' found running; none killed.
   ...fail!

/etc/init.d/bip contains the line

  VRBIP=/var/run/bip

so it's expecting a pid in /var/run/bip, but bip is creating the pid in /var/lib/bip .

Editing the line like so

  VRBIP=/var/lib/bip

fixes the problem.

This bug exists in Feisty and the Hardy beta. I haven't tried Gutsy.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?
