Hash: SHA256
Package: smokeping
Version: 2.6.8-2
This affects the wheezy version of smokeping. We are running OpenVZ
Kernel (might be relevant): 2.6.32-openvz-042stab106.4-amd64
The init script of smokeping doesn't correctly detect if smokeping is
running. Although it is running, the status command always return 3.
The problem is that the pid file of smokeping is not in the standard
location and the pid of the binary /usr/bin/smokeping cannot be found.
See the attached output. I propose the attached patch which correctly
sets the pid file when checking the status.
