Description

When specifying a pidfile which resides in its own pidfile directory (e.g. /var/run/pidfile_dir/pidfile.pid) together with the -user option the pidfile directory will not be created thus an error is thrown because the pidfile cannot be written.

Leaving the -user option and running jsvc as root works.
