Hi Danny,

Correct.

I’m proposing the addition below to be on the verrrry safe side.
WDYT?

The weird thing, as I mentioned earlier, is that systemd and Pies do not
protect against truncated PID files, and I couldn’t find any
“documentation” of the problem on the intertubes.  For systemd it’s
maybe less of a problem since services are started in a cgroup, I think.

Thanks,
