>Description:
	
        On subsequent reboots, it sees /var/spool/nagios/nrpe2.pid already
	exists and refuses to start.  Even though nrpe2 isn't running as the
	indicated pid.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
	Reboot system after nrpe2 is working.
>Fix:

	
	Initially, I changed pidfile location to somewhere that is cleaned up
	after reboot (/tmp).  But, later making the directory /var/run/nagios,
	with 0775 permissions and nagios:nagios ownership also worked.

	Though I feel rc scripts should also be able to handle stale pid files.
