[pgpool-general: 4617] Re: /var/run/pgpool is deleted after rebooting the machine

[Yugo Nagata]

Hi Giles,

If you build pgpool-II from the tar ball, src/redhat/pgpool.init is this. 
Otherwize, if you installed by apt-get or deb packages, unfortunately I don't
know where is. However, in my ubuntu, `dpkg -L pgpool` reuslt says 
/etc/init.d/pgpoo2 exists.

Regards,
Yugo.
