[ixpmanager] smokeping grief

[Brian Thompson]

I am not sure if this is oversight in documentation.

In application.ini

;; The directory where SmokePing keeps its pid when daemonised. (mandatory)
smokeping.conf.piddir = "/usr/local/var/smokeping"

When installing smokeping via

apt-get install smokeping on Ubuntu

it will install a service daemon /etc/init.d/smokeping

This is hardcoded to /var/run/smokeping/<$name>.pid

It seems like every unix fork prefers a different location
