Description Aragon 2002-01-28 19:40:07 UTC

The apmd rc script uses start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --
pidfile /var/run/apmd.pid in it's stop() clause. However, apmd does not create 
this pidfile on startup. Stopping apmd during shutdown fails.

Proposed solution:

Replacing the original start-stop-daemon line with "start-stop-daemon --stop --
quiet --exec /usr/sbin/apmd" in the stop() clause seems to do the trick :)

Aragon
