Thanks for running these tests. Both look ok, so I'm entirely clueless  
why the script fails on your box. refdbctl uses two shell commands to  
isolate the process ID from the ps output and from the PID file. Maybe  
one of these commands fails on your box. Could you please test those  
shell commands manually? You'll have to replace two variables with  
their real values, like this (using the values "2908" as the PID and  
"/var/run/refdbd.pid" as the full path of the PID file in this example):

cat /var/run/refdbd.pid|sed 's/^ *\([0-9]*\).*/\1/'

and

ps ax | grep -i "^ *2908.*[r]efdbd" | sed 's/^ *\([0-9]*\).*/\1/'

Both commands should return the process ID, i.e. "2908" in this example.

regards,
Markus
