      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.
