Hi Loic-
a) If it was kill -9'd, I don't think the daemon can trap and handle
that.
b) Agreed. I'll change this in the next upload.
c) I'm up for other ideas, here, but I think pidof() is about the best
we can do at this point. I don't think this is about working around
upstart bugs as much as it's about cleaning up libvirt's pid file.
Agreed, libvirtd should be better about that (and better about not
crashing). But fact is, it does die, it does leave its pidfile around,
this does prevent libvirt from starting subsequently, and this does
annoying Ubuntu users.
You're welcome to upload another one on top of my next upload that
cleans this up a little, if you have better solution(s).
As usual, thanks for the feedback, Loic!
