From 3552f0ae548d68effd4411ad4080e7b13fe627c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Hubbs Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2016 12:23:37 -0600 Subject: man/start-stop-daemon.8: clarify documentation about --pidfile option The documentation implied that if you stop a daemon we handle multiple pids in a pid file. This is not correct. We only handle the first pid.
