Hi Stoyan,
Not sure if it is the same problem as you're having, but I had a similar
symptom when using the default 'debian-backuppc' init script on Ubuntu
14.04; I am using BackupPC 4.0.0a3.
By default the directory where the pid file is stored (/var/run/BackupPC)
doesn't exist. The attached file shows my diff to the init script. The
script in 3.3.0 may need the same or similar changes.
Hth,
Stephen

Hello,
After upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 (backuppc 3.2.1-2ubuntu1.1) to Ubuntu
14.04 (backuppc 3.3.0-1ubuntu1), BackupPC no longer starts in daemon mode.
It runs fine in foreground though. I tried with a fresh server install and
still the same thing. The child dies immediately after being forked and
exits when the parent process exits. Here's what it looks like if I add
"sleep 60;" right after forking the child process and before the parent
exiting "exit if ($pid);"
backuppc 16074 15421 0 15:55 pts/30 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl -w
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC -d
backuppc 16076 16074 0 15:55 pts/30 00:00:00 [BackupPC] <defunct>
Same piece of code works fine if extracted and used by itself. Is there
anyone running BackupPC on Ubuntu 14.04 having the same problem?
Thanks,
Stoyan
