Details

Description:

I run the following as root:

/etc/rc.d/motion start

and then I get this message:

[0] Exit motion, cannot create process id file (pid file) /var/run/motion/motion.pid: No such file or directory

the /etc/rc.d/motion script should create the directory /var/run/motion before it runs the process because /run is now a tmpfs

Additional info:
* package version(s)

3.2.12-2

* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:

do as the description says

Can you guys please fix this problem quickly? I'm trying to use Motion for home security, so I need it to start automatically at boot-time. It won't do that until you guys fix this problem!
