    Description

      The initscript of the RPM packages does not check wether the directory the pidfile is written to exists.

      This makes it impossible to start mongod via the initscript on CentOS 7 at last, and presumably on RHEL 7, too, as the directory /var/run/mongod does not exist on system startup. The contents of /var/run seem to be deleted over a reboot, so creating the directory manually or via RPM does not help.

      The file mongo/rpm/init.d-mongod needs to be updated accordingly.

      I have already done that, a pull request will follow.
