[Bug 620085] [NEW] libvirtd does not clean up pid file

[Lee Hanxue]

Public bug reported:

Hi,


I found out that libvirtd will incorretly create a pid file even when it does not start up properly. 

Error
====
libvirtd start
20:04:43.882: error : qemudWritePidFile:494 : Failed to open pid file '/var/run/libvirtd.pid' : File exists

Expected resolution
================
libvirtd should not create the pid file before it starts up successfully. 


Package version: 0.7.5-5ubuntu2
uname -a: Linux ip-xx-xx-xx-xx 2.6.32-305-ec2 #9-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 15 04:14:01 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/510658
, but the difference is that when libvirtd fails to start up cleanly, it
should not have created the pid in the first place.
