From 2586bb88fb2d817ef5e2a2941ba326b893c143e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kyle J. McKay" Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2015 11:20:37 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] server.c: call ftruncate on pid file If the server has changed its uid or is running in a chroot it may be unable to remove the pid file when it exits. However, if it holds on to an open handle to the pid file that has write permission, it will be able to truncate the pid file to 0 bytes in length. Most monitoring software recognizes a 0-length pid file as indicating there is no process running. Therefore always attempt to truncate the pid file before trying to remove it so that it's not left containing the pid of a process that is no longer running. Signed-off-by: Kyle J.
