…symlink SysV init scripts are ran on boot from symlinks in `/etc/rc.d/rc.X`, where X is the runlevel. These symlinks are usually named something like `S99foobar`, which is a link to the real script `foobar`. This leads to differences in the pid_file filename and can lead to multiple processes running. By using readlink to get the actual destination filename, the pid_file name should always be consistent.
