This patch modifies way of creating pidfiles from /var/run/fprobe.pid to /var/run/fprobe-.pid ( argument -i ) which allows to run simulatnously several instances of fprobe on single Debian box. Example: somewhere:/home/vnull/build/fprobe-ng-1.1# ls -1 /var/run/*fprobe* /var/run/fprobe-eth1.10.pid /var/run/fprobe-eth1.20.pid /var/run/fprobe-eth1.pid
