[Bug 806761] Re: Feature Request: Upstart scripts for nslcd

[Caleb Callaway]

Good to know about the PID file, but as far as I know, there is no
mechanism in Upstart for utilizing PID files. This is an intentional design
decision, see
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/upstart-devel/2008-August/000735.html(the
section on the "pid file" stanza being removed)

Is there any technical reason nslcd can't have a foreground mode? I'm happy
to dive into the code and see about making the necessary modifications, but
I wouldn't want to invest the time unless it's a feasible option.
