[gentoo-user] openrc start-stop-daemon problem

[covici]

Hi.  I am having a problem with openrc 16.4 where start-stop daemon
complains like this fopen /var/run/<some service> (happens to almost all
of them)  no such file or directory, but -- using the interactive
feature -- I see that the pid file is actually is there.  /var/run is a
simlink to /run which is a tmpfs file system.  It looks like permissions
are correct as well, so I have no idea why this is happening.  When the
system shuts down, start-stop-daemon still complains and has some other
way to find the process,  but its still annoying.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Not sure why this is happening, but I have noticed the same with some 
applications (ipsec-tools springs to mind).  I think it started when /var/run, 
/var/lock and /dev/shm (? not sure) were moved over to /run/*. 

I assumed that this is because some package maintainers may have not caught up 
with the fs change yet.

I also notice that many  files still use runscript and have not fixed
the name change for that.
