Example: # /etc/init.d/pptpd start * Starting PoPToP Point to Point Tunneling Server pptpd [ OK ] # ps aux | grep pptpd root 16211 0.0 0.0 10684 680 ? Ss 17:51 0:00 /usr/sbin/pptpd root 16305 0.0 0.0 18236 904 pts/0 S+ 17:51 0:00 grep --color=auto pptpd # /etc/init.d/pptpd status * /usr/sbin/pptpd is not running This happens because status_of_proc takes $PIDFILE as $DAEMON, and tries to use the file "/var/run/pptpd.pid.pid" as source for the PID of the program. Adding "-p" solves the problem. The version tested is 1.3.4+27+gddb30f8-1ubuntu1.
