no process in pidfile; found running, none killed












0















I'm working on an emailnotifier script on RaspberryPi which was written in Python.
I've found a tutorial page, I've exactly copied the default code (which works fine with a simple "python emailnotifier.py") but I wanted to improve it as a startup service.



The code can be found at the bottom at this page (Sorry dunno how to insert it):



https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-email-notifier/



After I start the service then check the status, the following can be read:



"Stopping system #DAEMON_NAME daemon:start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 2270: No such process



No process in pidfile '/var/run/emailnotifier.pid' found running; none killed.



failed!
