Dropbox seems to have changed their code so that starting process kill itself. So the pid listed in the pid file was wrong. I updated the init script to use Dropbox's own pid file. Please try it.

Please try it. mmm... little addition. in "status", i think, section must be: status() { for dbuser in ${DROPBOX_USERS}; do local homedir=$(eval echo ~${dbuser}) if [ -e ${homedir}/.dropbox/dropbox.pid ] ; then echo "dropboxd for USER $dbuser: running." else echo "dropboxd for USER $dbuser: not running." fi done }
Thanks for suggestion. Updated the init script.
