[Olsr-dev] Writing pid to lockfile on Android

[Charles Boyd]

Hello everybody,

I am trying to write a simple Android application which has to be able to
start and stop olsrd on command. There is a problem with stopping olsrd when
it is running on Android because (as far as I can tell) it does not write a
PID-file since Android does not have a /var directory, which makes killing
the process difficult.

However, it does write the olsrd.conf lockfile to /data/local for Android.
[1]

Could we have olsrd write its pid to the lockfile on Android? This seems
like the easiest solution.

Thanks.

- Charles
