 Description   

If you start `mongod` with the `--pidfilepath` and `–fork` options the pid written to the pid file is the parent process. If we want to subsequently identify the running process the pid file should contain the pid of the child process which is reported on the command line.

Yep, me neither. Close for now. I will reopen if it reoccurs.

Hey, joe.drumgoole I'm not seeing what you describe either - what's the version of mongod and OS on which you saw this happen?

Comment by Eric Sedor [ 07/Feb/19 ]

Hello, can you please provide more information on how mongod is being started and in what os/environment? As well, what version of mongod is being run?
