Description of problem:
Quagga daemons (e.g. zebra, ospfd) write pidfiles under /var/run/quagga.  These pidfiles are not removed when the daemons are stopped.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
quagga-0.98.6-5.el5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. service zebra start
2. service zebra stop
  
Actual results:
The pidfile (/var/run/quagga/zebra.pid) remains after "stop".

Expected results:
The pidfile should be deleted upon stopping the service.

Additional info:
The killproc function in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions is looking for /var/run/zebra.pid if no pidfile was explicitly passed with -p.

Could either pass the pidfile to killproc:

        RETVAL=$?
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/zebra
        echo


... or configure quagga with pidfiles under /var/run.

This issue was reported by Quality Engineering during RHEL7 Alpha campaign. If the bug is fixed in the latest RHEL7 tree, change the status to MODIFIED. For unresolved issues could you please deliver the fix by development freeze January 4th 2013? Otherwise provide ETA with short justification.

There are two possible approaches here, either I could patch all daemons in quagga not to use pidfiles at all. systemd will always know the main pid of the service. Although there might be scripts out there using those pidfile from whatever reasons. Second approach would be, adding ExecStopPost= action to unit files where we could call rm command on pidfile.

I would say that second option is easier to implement and more sensible choice considering backward compatibility.

systemd now removes pidfiles automatically when they are referenced in a service file. I will add PIDFile= option to all quagga service files.
