Hi

I have a Raspberry Pi where I set the time via a perl-script from a tv-stick.

The script run as an init-script via Daemon::Control and looks like this: 

use strict;
use Daemon::Control;
use Sys::Syslog;

exit Daemon::Control->new(
            name        => "Time from DVB",
            lsb_start   => '$syslog $remote_fs',
            program     => \&time_from_dvb,
            pid_file    => "/tmp/dvb-perl.pid",
        )->run;

sub time_from_dvb {

  openlog("perl-mh");
  # set the time from dvb
  syslog("time set");
}

Now the thing is that while it works (time is set, log message appears in syslog), the pid-file does not get deleted, even though the script has done it's thing and has exited.

I would have assumed that Daemon::Control would see to the pid-file being deleted once the program (in my case a subroutine) has finished.

Is that a wrong understanding of how Daemon::Control works or is there anything else I have to do for the pid-file to get removed?

Many thanks!
