It appears so. I have done further testing and if the server process is
restarted, it does over-write it. However, this proves to me that for
scripting purposes it is still best to tuse the ps pid rather than the .pid
file pid.
Many thanks,
Alex.

Subject: RE: [cciug] .pid within the storage directory
I would imagine that on starting the vob_server if it finds an existing .pid
it would just overwrite it - the key being that the vob_server is being
started from scratch. We've had problems when our IT department restored
some views from backup but didn't ct endview -server them first - the views
use a similar .pid file too, which obviously screwed things big time.
