Bug#516845: dovecot-common: Possible bug in init script
Marcel Wiechmann
Version: 1:1.0.15-2.3
Severity: normal
In my configuration file, base_dir is set to '/var/run/dovecot/'.
If i now run /usr/sbin/dovecot i receive the message 'Fatal: Dovecot is already running with PID 31094 (read from /var/run/dovecot//master.pid)'.
The message itself is totally correct but did you notice the two // befor master.pid?
So the correct value for base_dir should be '/var/run/dovecot', but with this value the script fails to stop the processes.
I'm not a programmer but row 71, in /etc/init.d/dovecot, should be changed from 'PIDFILE=${PIDBASE:-/var/run/dovecot/}master.pid' to 'PIDFILE=${PIDBASE:-/var/run/dovecot}/master.pid'??
