--force-lock option error

[Daniel Jung]

Hi,

Running nsscache -c /etc/nsscache/nsscache.conf update -f --force-lock gave the following error, there is another nsscache job that that runs often with update option only. 

I wonder if the pid written is not properly parsed?? Oddly, i cant seem to reproduce using -d -v hence no debug log so far.. 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/booking-python/2.7.2/bin/nsscache", line 33, in <module>
    return_value = nsscache_app.Run(sys.argv[1:], os.environ)

Thanks for the report.  Can you show the contents of the pid file when you get this error?

I've managed to reproduce this in test, it looks like a simple case of not handling bad pidfiles; rookie error!

This has been released as version 0.24; you can check it out of the git repository or fetch from Debian unstable, but google code has removed the optoin of uploading tarballs and I don't have a replacement for that.
