[Imre Gergely]

Public bug reported:

In latest clamav 0.97.2, when stopping freshclam daemon the usual way,
its pidfile doesn't get removed

root at utest-oos32:~# ps ax |grep freshclam
 6468 ?        Ss     0:01 /usr/bin/freshclam -d --quiet
 6473 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto freshclam

root at utest-oos32:~# cat /var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid 
6468

root at utest-oos32:~# /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop
 * Stopping ClamAV virus database updater freshclam                             [ OK ] 

root at utest-oos32:~# ps ax |grep freshclam
 6609 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto freshclam

root at utest-oos32:~# cat /var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid 
6468
root at utest-oos32:~# 

In contrast, when stopping clamav-daemon its pidfile does get removed.
