Description of problem:

    The system hangs during boot waiting for LCDd to start.

    I believe this problem will occur in all legacy sys5 init
    scripts that specify a pidfile, but who's associated daemons
    don't create one.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

    systemd-37-11.fc16.x86_65
    lcdproc-0.5.3.1.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:

    Even time the system boots

Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Enable LCDd with appropropriate configuration for your hardware
    2. Enable LCDd at startup "chkconfig LCDd on"
    3. Reboot
  
Actual results:

    The system will hang for a long time. (5 minutes?)

Expected results:

    A normal boot.

Additional info:

    After the recent update to systemd-*-11-37, the pidfile comment
    in legacy sysV init scripts is used by the startup process to
    wait for the specified pid file to appear. This causes a hang
    during boot if a pidfile doesn't get created.

    The LCDd init script specifies a pidfile in its comment header,
    but the LCDd deamon doesn't create a pid file.

Work-around (suggested fix?)

    In the file:

        /etc/rc.d/init.d/LCD.d

    Remove the comment in the header that reads:
 
        # pidfile: /var/run/LCDd.pid

    The system will now boot normally and LCDd works fine.

    Enclosed is the fixed LCDd init script.
