Michael is correct that BackupPC does use
$Info->{pid} (which is read from status.pl). But
it does check that that process exists before printing the error
message (using perl's kill(0, pid) that doesn't really send a
signal, but tells you whether the process is alive). So I don't
know why it claims process 1289 is running; that would mean
"kill(0, 1289)" returns 1 (success)...
I assume after a reboot it is very possible that some other process
is running and has used pid 1289, and isn't a short-lived process
(ie, some other daemon or similar).
Does BPC check the name of the process that is found? This would
help to avoid this confusion (pid exists but is not a BPC pid).
Which means the OP broke down a random door, and didn't even need to
get into that room anyway (ie, killed a random unknown process,
which may or may not be causing other problems, since the expected
process is not running correctly).
