    Shouldn’t the startup set the PID to $var_Daemon?

    I had to change

    kill `cat $var_Daemon.pid`

    to

    killall $var_Daemon

    for stopping and restarting the server to make the script work. Nice and simple script though, I like it!

    Maybe starting the server with predetermined PID would solve the problem :>
