Current daemon flags are: daemon_flags="-b 0 -f ${datadir} -p ${datadir}/sabnzbd.pid" Intention is to be: daemon_flags="-b 0 -f ${datadir} --pidfile ${datadir}/sabnzbd.pid" Notice "--pidfile" instead of "-p". "-p" starts the daemon paused, which isn't desired for most people. Additionally, the entire PID option can be omitted. Addressed offlist by Nick Templeton <nick () nicktempleton ! com>. Diff by me.
