I am starting my application using a service file. I am trying to create a pid file that mojolicious needs, however what I have tried is not working. Here is my service file.

[Unit]
Description=Perl App

[Service]
Type=forking
User=www-data
Group=www-data
Environment=movielog=/tmp/movie-app/movie.log
UMask=007
ExecStart=/webapp/movie-app/local/bin/hypnotoad /webapp/movie-app/scri
+pt/movie
ExecReload=/webapp/movie-app/local/bin/hypnotoad /webapp/movie-app/scr
+ipt/obdaac
ExecStop=/webapp/movie-app/local/bin/hypnotoad --stop /webapp/movie-ap
+p/script/obdaac
TimeoutStopSec=5
PIDFile=/tmp/movie-app/hypnotoad.pid
KillMode=mixed

My hypnotoad file looks like

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Mojo::Base -strict;

use Mojo::Server::Hypnotoad;
use Mojo::Util qw(extract_usage getopt);

getopt
  'f|foreground' => \$ENV{HYPNOTOAD_FOREGROUND},
  'h|help'       => \my $help,
  's|stop'       => \$ENV{HYPNOTOAD_STOP},
  't|test'       => \$ENV{HYPNOTOAD_TEST};

die extract_usage if $help || !(my $app = shift || $ENV{HYPNOTOAD_APP}
+);
Mojo::Server::Hypnotoad->new->run($app,pid_file => '/tmp/movie-app/hyp
+notoad.pid');

Perl keeps trying to create the pid file in the application directory /webapp/movie-app/script/movie and that is causing an error. How do I get hypnotoad to create the pid file in the /tmp/movie-app/hypnotoad.pid location.
