Bug#766403: cyrus-common: Restarting Cyrus IMAPd: cyrmasterfind: `/run/cyrus/lock': No such file or directory

[Boylan, Ross]

Yes, a symlink
root at wheezy4:/# ls -ls /var/run
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct  4 16:30 /var/run -> /run
root at wheezy4:/# ls -ld /run
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 780 Nov  4 18:59 /run

After shutting down  cyrus I got (newish symptom)
root at wheezy4:/# /etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd start
find: `/run/cyrus/proc': No such file or directory
root at wheezy4:/# ls -l /run/cyrus
total 0
drwx------ 3 cyrus mail 60 Nov  4 18:39 lock
drwxr-x--- 2 cyrus mail 80 Nov  4 18:59 socket

Is your /var/run symlink to /run?

ondrej at lettie:~/Projects/pkg-cyrus-imapd/cyrus-imapd-2.4 (master)$ ls
-ld /run/
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 960 Oct 22 04:11 /run/
ondrej at lettie:~/Projects/pkg-cyrus-imapd/cyrus-imapd-2.4 (master)$ ls
-ld /var/run
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Apr 19  2013 /var/run -> /run

If not, your system is broken.

Cheers,
Ondrej
