bric_queued --user

I'm using bric_queued for pub/dist with *bric_queued --username publisher
--password password*. Where publisher is a bric user I setup just for
handling scripted publishing tasks. Looking at the /etc/init.d/bricolage
startup script, I see it will also launch bric_queued at startup. However,
when I set the values:

DIST_USERNAME="publisher"
DIST_PASSWORD="password"

in that script and run:

% sudo /etc/init.d/bricolage start

I get this output:

Cannot open PID file /var/run/bric_queued.pid at /usr/local/bin/bric_queued
line 389.

[/usr/local/bin/bric_queued:424]
[/usr/local/bin/bric_queued:439]
[/usr/local/bin/bric_queued:226]
[/usr/local/bin/bric_queued:208]
bric_queued: started

Since, I'm running the startup script as root, I'm not sure what the problem
is. Perhaps the user *www-data*, is trying to launch bric_queued rather than
root, but does not have permission to write to /var/run? I'm just not sure.
Help!

Of course after stating the problem I basically answered my own question.

The PID was being written to /var/run/bric_queued.pid, but as www-data and
without the proper permission to do so. This fixed the problem:

sudo mkdir /var/run/bricolage
sudo chown www-data\: /var/run/bricolage

Then updated DIST_PIDFILE=/var/run/bricolage/bric_queued.pid in the init.d
script. Works like a charm now.

I love when that happens. :-)
