[tpop3d-discuss] pidfile

[Chris Elsworth]

Hi,

I'm in the process of attempting to create a FreeBSD port for tpop3d. Even 
if they don't accept it, its a learning experience, and I've got nothing 
else to do :)

During the process, I've noticed that tpop3d by default doesn't use a 
pidfile. Wouldn't it be sensible to make this a configure time option? I 
had to change main.c so it wrote one (which works fine).

Would it be possible to get a configure option to write a pidfile, 
specifying the location on the configure arg? FreeBSD stores them in 
/var/run, so I'd be setting it to that for this port.

your thoughts?
