Z:englobe-dpkg-man--386779-Used when starting a program t/hu

Used when starting a program that does not create its own pid file. This option will make B create the file referenced with B<--pidfile> and place the pid into it just before executing the process. Note, the file will not be removed when stopping the program. B This feature may not work in all cases. Most notably when the program being executed forks from its main process. Because of this it is usually only useful when combined with the B<--background> option.
