Re: PIDFile not written/missing in tor-0.1.1.5-alpha-cvs



hi,

If you go back to a stock torrc config, does it put the file in
/private/var/run/Tor.pid as it should?

fair question.

short answer:  nope.

if i try to launch my build with 'stock' torrc, i get no launch, and no errors in my syslog. i'll worry abt this later ...

so, instead i commented out the pidfile stmt, letting it fall back to default:


editing in .../tor.conf,



case:
	...
	PidFile "/var/Process/tor.pid"
	...

on launch, syslog -->

still complaining abt the missing pidfile ...



case:
	...
	#PidFile "/var/Process/tor.pid"
	...

on launch, syslog -->

no error, but i can STILL find no trace of Tor.pid (the default ...)

	% ls -al /private/var/run/Tor.pid
		/usr/local/bin/ls: /private/var/run/Tor.pid: No such file or directory

hmm???

	% /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
	% locate Tor.pid
	%
	% locate tor.pid
	%

p.s. silly question: what is "or-talk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx", which is set as your reply: string, rather than the list addr of "or-talk@xxxxxxxx"? i presume it's a mirror ... but have completely missed any reference to it @
