deluged pid adds extra number

[Jo]

The pid file gets created with the correct Process ID but adds extra numbers ('50204')

# cat $deluged_confdir/deluged.pid
78614;50204

FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p4 used python3.6 -m pip install --upgrade deluge to install.

launch using:

/usr/local/bin/python3.6 /usr/local/bin/deluged --config $deluged_confdir

[Jo]

It is the daemon_port that gets appended to the pid file.

Comments in code suggest this is by design, pid and port are used to check at startup if another deluge server process is running.

Yes that is an internal file but can use pidfile option:

 -P, --pidfile <pidfile>        Pidfile to store the process id
