 Just like rsyslogd, I believe syslogd and klogd can background and create a PID
file themselves. In that case, it's better not to use start-stop-daemon's -b option.

 Note that this is different for systemd units, because systemd does actual
monitoring of the processes it starts; it can only do that if the process
doesn't background itself. In sysvinit, however, there is no monitoring so it's
better if daemons daemonize themselves.

 Regards,
 Arnout
