Details

Current localization of pid file is reported as incorrect by systemd.
` systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system/atopacct.service:10: PIDFile= references a path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/atopacctd.pid → /run/atopacctd.pid; please update the unit file accordingly. `

This somehow is preventing atop from reporting exited processes.

Changing PIDFile location fixes the issue `IDFile=/run/atopacctd.pid`

This task depends upon

Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: Reporter: The problem is caused by something else than `PIDFile` location. After each reboot, I've to restart `atopacctd` in order for accounting to work.
