--- Comment #2 from Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <[email protected]> ---
"When -oX is used on the command line  to  start  a  listening
                daemon,  the process id is not written to the normal pid file
                path. However, -oP can be used to specify a path on the  com???
                mand line if a pid file is required."

Doh, is there any reason for such werid behaviour?

I'd guess that the assumption was that the config file would be used
for the live service; setting things like this on the command-line
would typically be during testing, when it would be a bad idea
to interfere with the pid file for the live service ?
