Daniel,

The problem happens when the --daemonize option is used, and we have no permission to access to the PID file.

I reproduced it as follows (logged in as a regular user) :

> pt-kill --daemonize --busy-time 10 --kill --pid /var/run/percona-toolkit/pt-kill.pid -u xxxxx -p xxxxx
> Cannot open PID file /var/run/percona-toolkit/pt-kill.pid: No such file or directory at pt-kill line 2398.

After the fix the same command exits with error 1.

So, in essence, the process "successfully" forks, but child dies immediately for whatever reason. We now capture this by waiting a couple of seconds to see if it started correctly.
