PIDFile not written/missing in tor-0.1.1.5-alpha-cvs

[OpenMacNews]

hi,

fair question.

short answer:  nope.

if i try to launch my build with 'stock' torrc, i get no launch, and no errors 
in my syslog.  i'll worry abt this later ...

so, instead i commented out the pidfile stmt, letting it fall back to default:


editing in .../tor.conf,



case:
	...
	PidFile "/var/Process/tor.pid"
	...

on launch, syslog -->

	Aug 25 10:12:36 devbox Tor: Initialized libevent version 1.1a using method 
poll. Good.
	Aug 25 10:12:36 devbox Tor: write_pidfile(): Unable to open 
"/var/Process/tor.pid" for writing: No such file or directory
	Aug 25 10:12:36 devbox Tor: connection_create_listener(): Opening Socks 
listener on 127.0.0.1:9050
	Aug 25 10:12:36 devbox Tor: connection_create_listener(): Opening Control 
listener on 127.0.0.1:9051
	Aug 25 10:12:43 devbox Tor: Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like 
it's working.

still complaining abt the missing pidfile ...



case:
	...
	#PidFile "/var/Process/tor.pid"
	...

on launch, syslog -->

	Aug 25 09:58:00 devbox Tor: Initialized libevent version 1.1a using method 
poll. Good.
	Aug 25 09:58:00 devbox Tor: connection_create_listener(): Opening Socks 
listener on 127.0.0.1:9050
	Aug 25 09:58:00 devbox Tor: connection_create_listener(): Opening Control 
listener on 127.0.0.1:9051
	Aug 25 09:58:06 devbox Tor: Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like 
it's working.


no error, but i can STILL find no trace of Tor.pid (the default ...)

	% ls -al /private/var/run/Tor.pid
		/usr/local/bin/ls: /private/var/run/Tor.pid: No such file or directory

hmm???

	% /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
	% locate Tor.pid
	%
	% locate tor.pid
	%

p.s.  silly question:  what is "or-talk at freehaven.net", which is set as your 
reply: string, rather than the list addr of "or-talk at seul.org"?  i presume it's 
a mirror ... but have completely missed any reference to it @
