Description

Moinmoin standalone server ignores the --pidfile option. Instead, it always use the file ./moin.pid

Steps to reproduce

Example

Try running

• cd /tmp
  
  moin --config-dir=/etc/moin server standalone --pidfile /var/run/moin.pid --start

Then run

• ls -l ./moin.pid  /var/run/moin.pid

Component selection

• standalone server

Details

Workaround

change the current directory to the place where the .pid file should be created, before starting moin.

or Apply the patch standalone.py.diff to the file MoinMoin/script/server/standalone.py :
