[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#454112: Bug#454112: Cleaning out winbindd PID file

[Christian Perrier]

Quoting Steve Langasek (vorlon at debian.org):

Well, coming back to that bug.

"My" init script mimics what we're doing in samba's init script:

		# Wait a little and remove stale PID file
		sleep 1
		if [ -f $WINBINDDPID ] && ! ps h `cat $WINBINDDPID` > /dev/null
		then
			# Stale PID file (winbindd was succesfully stopped),
			# remove it (should be removed by winbindd itself)
			rm -f $WINBINDDPID
		fi
		;;


The 'ps' command is indeed meant to check if the winbind process with
the said PID is still running and only removes the PID file if it
isn't.

That seems correct to me. Isn't it correct?
