lighttpd init script doesn't use pidfile
Last modified: 2010-02-01 20:14:13 UTC
/etc/init.d/lighttpd doesn't make use of the lighttpd pid file, so rclighttpd status or rclighttpd stop will match any running lighttpd instance. In my case, I was doing some development with a manually started lighttpd with my custom config file, with a zypper dup running in another window. The lighttpd %post script killed my lighttpd instance and started the system lighttpd, which was not running before.
