Public bug reported:
pidofproc assumes either a PID file in /var/run/smokeping.pid, or
failing that uses pidof to find the PID.
A running smokeping looks like this:
root@myhost:~# ps uawx|grep smokeping
109 26838 0.0 0.5 141824 22296 ? Ss 11:41 0:00
/usr/sbin/smokeping [FPing]
And 'pidof smokeping' doesn't find it (presumably due to the [FPing]).
Can be fixed in the init script with the -p option to pidofproc:
pidofproc -p $PIDFILE "$DAEMON" > /dev/null
Patch attached.
** Affects: smokeping (Ubuntu)
