a few questions

[Russell Fulton]

Hi All,
	I'm setting up a new argus server and doing it all from scratch 
using 2.0.1 distribution.  In particular I am building new start up 
scripts and putting everything in 'config' files.

It is a debian linux system so the sample rc file does not work out of 
the box so I am hacking it.

Questions/observations:

Argus does not seem to create a pid file even though I ask for it in 
the config file,

when I start argus from the command line with -F I get the message:
rful011 at hihi:~$ argus_linux[2361]: : No such file or directory

It is finding and reading the config file (I got syntax errors before) 
and it creates the output file (as per config file) 
rful011 at hihi:~$ ls -l ~argus/data/current 
-rw-r--r--    1 root     argus           0 May 31 16:26 
/home/argus/data/current

before dying with the above error.

starting argus from the command line works fine:
rful011 at hihi:~$ sudo ~argus/bin/argus_linux -d -i eth1 -w 
~argus/data/current
argus_linux[2368]: started

but still no pid file in /var/run

Puzzled
