Michael is correct that BackupPC does use $Info->{pid} (which is read from
status.pl). But it does check that that process exists before printing the
error message (using perl's kill(0, pid) that doesn't really send a signal,
but tells you whether the process is alive). So I don't know why it cla
Kris probably has the right explanation. But it shouldn't matter -

I really don't know where to start on this one, and my reply is off-topic,

Thank you! My friend figured it out and issues the following command which
seemed to fix it.
Kill -9 1289
Apparently, that killed the missing process which I could not find using ps

A simple service restart brought it back up.

So I've build rsync-bpc and the Perl module without the included

I've sent you a pull request for rsync,

there are no side-effects.

Is there a trailing slash on your TopDir?
