Public bug reported:
A vanilla install of motion configures motion to run as user "motion"
and provides a correctly chowned dir, /var/run/motion, for storing the
pidfile, motion.pid.
However, init script and motion.conf contain incorrect values to use
this.
Editing the following lines fixes it:
/etc/init.d/motion
18:PIDFILE=/var/run/motion/$NAME.pid
/etc/motion/motion.conf
14:process_id_file /var/run/motion/motion.pid
After these changes are made, motion starts and stops correctly when run
in daemon mode.
