Well that is certainly how it is supposed to work, and that script defines 
pidfile which should prevent it from doing what you're suggesting. So 
let's check your work. :)

To accomplish what you want you would have to change all of the following 
in your duplicate script:

1. filename (IOW, you need 2 scripts with different names)
2. PROVIDE
3. name=
4. rcvar= (If you redefine $name that should be enough)
5. pidfile=
6. The names of the variables in the default assignments

Also, the assignment of pidfile should really come after the defaults are 
set.

If you do all that and it still doesn't work, send a diff of your two rc.d 
scripts to the list.


hope this helps,

Doug
