Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2017-04-28 20:37:52 MSK 
service-0.5.26-alt1.x86_64

There some init-scripts for RHEL7.2 which invoke daemon() from /etc/init.d/functions-compat with --pidfile like this:

start() {
    [ $UID -eq 0 ] || exit 4
    [ -x $exec ] || exit 5

    echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
    daemon --pidfile $pidfile $exec $OPTIONS
    RETVAL=$?
    [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch $lockfile
    echo
}

Currently, ALT's package doesn't support this.
