Unbound.pid error in system log

[3th0]

The following errors started popping up in my System Logs:

Aug 22 03:52:01 dhcpleases kqueue error: unkown
Aug 22 03:52:01 dhcpleases Could not deliver signal HUP to process because its pidfile (/var/run/unbound.pid) does not exist, No such process.
Aug 22 03:52:01 dhcpleases /var/etc/hosts changed size from original!

However, unbound.pid exists…

ls -lah /var/run/unbound.pid 
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     6B Aug 22 03:52 /var/run/unbound.pid

cat /var/run/unbound.pid
25713

I am running pfSense 2.3.4.

I advise you to execute one more cmmand to be sure :

ps 25713

or whatever is the value you find in the file /var/run/unbound.pid.
THis should return something like this :

[2.3.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.my.system]/root: ps 25713
  PID TT  STAT    TIME COMMAND
11682  -  Ss   0:22.62 /usr/local/sbin/unbound -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf

The pid file exists, ok, but what if unbound itself isn't there anymore or has another pid ?

[3th0]

Since my original post the value in unbound.pid has changed.  I executed the command you suggested with the new value and received the following results.

ps 11204
  PID TT  STAT    TIME COMMAND
11204  -  Ss   0:01.93 /usr/local/sbin/unbound -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf

The errors pop up in the log when I save any changes to the DHCP Server settings.

As far as I know it's a cosmetic bug in Unbound caused by chrooting it under /var/unbound. There is no real problem.

Good to know!  Thank you!
