[SOLVED] At shutdown of KDE 4.4: /etc/rc.d/kdm.pid: No such file......
In KDE 4.4, after leaving the GUI by clicking on "Turn Off Computer", the following strange message [in bold] appears:
--------------------
Initializing Shutdown...
/etc/rc.d/functions: line 201
/etc/rc.d/kdm.pid: No such file or directory
:: Stopping KDE Desktop Manager
... (etc, etc)
--------------------
Lines 200 - 202 in the /etc/rc.d/functions file points to the following:
stop_daemon() {
/etc/rc.d/$1 stop
}
After the above, the system DOES shutdown properly. It's only those particluar messages that are bothering me. Why do they appear? Thanks.

Is there a chance there is a matching error having to do with trying to start the daemon? It might go away when the login screen starts.
What is the output of "grep DAEMONS /etc/rc.conf" ?
While your window manager is running (logged into KDE I assume) , what is the output of "ls -l /var/run/daemons"

Re: [SOLVED] At shutdown of KDE 4.4: /etc/rc.d/kdm.pid: No such file......
@ewaller - The message appears after I shutdown / logout from KDE using "Turn off computer", not when I login. There are no problems logging in to KDE. Even after the message I mentioned, the shutdown / logout procedure works fine, it is only the appearance of that message that bothers me.
Output for "grep DAEMONS /etc/rc.conf":
----------
# DAEMONS
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus acpid hal network netfs crond alsa postgresql kdm)
----------
Output for "ls -l /var/run/daemons":

Fixed in trunk. I was confused by this bug report: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18318 However the code that was in kdm could never work.

@Pierre - Thanks for the info. When will a branch release which includes the patch be created from the trunk and released for installation on Arch?

This bug was fixed with the release of KDE 4.4.1. It was occurring in version 4.4.0. Thanks.
