Description:

The KDM start script store the PID into a wrong PID file.

Additional info:
* kdebase-workspace 4.4.0-3


Steps to reproduce:
Execute:

/etc/rc.d/kdm stop

then execute

/etc/rc.d/kdm start

You will get FAILED because the pid file is not deleted. According to the rc functions the pid file will be removed from /var/run/daemons directory but /etc/rc.d/kdm create the pid file into /var/run directory so to fix this issue it's enough to make create the pid file into /var/run/daemons replacing:


start)
stat_busy "Starting KDE Desktop Manager"
[ -z "$PID" ] && /usr/bin/kdm &>/dev/null
if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
stat_fail
else
echo $PID > /var/run/kdm.pid
add_daemon kdm
stat_done
fi
;;

with the following:

start)
stat_busy "Starting KDE Desktop Manager"
[ -z "$PID" ] && /usr/bin/kdm &>/dev/null
if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
stat_fail
else
echo $PID > /var/run/daemons/kdm.pid
add_daemon kdm
stat_done
fi
;;
