lfd incorrectly attempts to close and unlink pid file in TESTING mode

Post by tgage »

Attempting to start LFD while in TESTING mode does not report the correct error "*Error* lfd will not run with TESTING enabled in /etc/csf/csf.conf". Instead, /usr/sbin/lfd attempts to close and unlink the $pidfile /var/run/lfd.pid using an undefined file handle $PIDFILE at line 7186. This causes the error: "Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at /usr/sbin/lfd line.7186".
