Description Plopmaster 2011-03-12 20:20:18 UTC

In my /etc/munin/munin-node : "pid_file /var/run/munin-node.pid"
When I run munin-node, I see that in munin logs :
Couldn't open pid file "/var/run/munin/munin-node.pid" 

Which is clearly not the path I indicated

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.change pid_file directive in your conf file
2.run munin-node
3.


Expected Results:  
Munin-node take my pid_file directive into account

Thanks for the report.

The Gentoo Linux init scripts are not aligned with upstream in this case. That means, when you run the init script, /etc/init.d/munin-node, it is obeying the PIDFILE variable that it set itself.

%% grep pid /etc/init.d/munin-node
PIDFILE=/var/run/munin/$NAME.pid
	start-stop-daemon --quiet --nicelevel $NICE_LEVEL --start --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec /usr/sbin/$NAME
	start-stop-daemon --quiet --stop --pidfile $PIDFILE

So, I'm not sure what to do about this bug (if anything), assigning to maintainer.
