           Summary: sysutils/apcupsd faulty pid handling
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any

I was trying to hack multiple UPS support by duplicating
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apcupsd under several distinct names and I got into a world
of hurt with the pid file, which I traced down the pidfile variable not being
passed to the apcupsd executable. 

I was able to fix this omission by adding one line, as below: 

pidfile="/var/run/apcupsd_Fred.pid"  # MODIFIED PID FILE NAME
required_files="/usr/local/etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf"
command_args="-P $pidfile"   # PROPOSED ADDITIONAL LINE
command="/usr/local/sbin/apcupsd"

After adding this line, pid file sanity returned to my particular hackish
endeavour. 

This might be the totally wrong solution to my problem, but nevertheless the
PID handling should work as advertised.
