Description of problem: If there is a stale lockfile (eg because your machine crashed), the initscript doesn't start up boinc on the next run - it errors out with "Another instance of BOINC is running (lockfile exists)." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): boinc-client-5.10.45-9.20080315svn.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start boinc client 2. kill the pid manually 3. run /etc/rc.d/init.d/boinc_client start Actual results: Client fails to start, with error "Another instance of BOINC is running (lockfile exists)." Expected results: stale lockfile is detected and client starts Additional info: The initscript shouldn't do its own lockfile stuff - it should use the fedora daemon helper function with --check.
