Bug Description

Hi! This bug report i nearly an exact copy of Bug #314837 although this bug concerns pgpool and not pgpool2.

We are running pgpool 3.4.1-2 on a 64-bits Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS server which does not itself run PostgreSQL server (the server is on a separate machine). After installing pgpool, it creates a dir /var/run/postgresql which is owned by the postgres user. The default configuration (/etc/pgpool.conf) looks for the pid file in this directory.

On system reboot, this directory is destroyed and never recreated which prevent the pgpool process from starting.

I have added the attached patch below to our /etc/init.d/pgpool script that solves the problem but it would be great if someone can update the Ubuntu pgpool packages?

Cheers
//Jon
