I reported this at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-
tools-backends/+bug/298777:

If I try to stop system-tools-backends after it was already stopped, I
get an error. For example, if I run "sudo invoke-rc.d system-tools-
backends" twice, I get:

chr1s@chris-desktop:~$ sudo invoke-rc.d system-tools-backends stop
 * Stopping System Tools Backends system-tools-backends [ OK ]
chr1s@chris-desktop:~$ sudo invoke-rc.d system-tools-backends stop
 * Stopping System Tools Backends system-tools-backends start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 7993: No such process
                                                                                    [ OK ]

This is because when I closed system-tools-backends the first time, it
left a stale PID file in /var/run. Manually deleting /var/run/system-
tools-backends.pid prevented the init script from failing again.

The original problem might have been caused by
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19604 as the PID file was
created without an explicit file mode.
