/etc/init.d/sobby stop removes /var/run/rsync.pid

[Alex Muntada]

Binary package hint: sobby

After stopping sobby the file /var/run/rsync.pid is removed:

do_stop() {
        log_daemon_msg "Stopping $PRG"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile $PIDFILE
        log_end_msg $?
        rm -f /var/run/rsync.pid
}

It seems that this init file was copied from rsync's. Stopping sobby could class with a running rsync server, so it would be better to use $PIDFILE instead:

do_stop() {
        log_daemon_msg "Stopping $PRG"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile $PIDFILE
        log_end_msg $?
        rm -f $PIDFILE
}

Please, note that this bug was introduced in Ubuntu since sobby does not have an init file in Debian.
