I noticed that rc-service commands fail, for example:

# rc-service rabbitmq-server status
 * status: crashed

Apparently, rc-service depends on the PID file, but the directory /run/rabbitmq/ is empty, there is no pid file, even though rabbitmq-server is running fine.

Interestingly, the file /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server properly tries to set the pid file environment variable:

pidfile=/run/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.pid
...
	start-stop-daemon --start \
		--env RABBITMQ_PID_FILE=$pidfile \
...

If I create the pid file as /run/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.pid and reboot the server, the file is removed on startup.

Thank you.
