def remove_pidfile File.unlink(self.pidpath) if self.pidfile_exists? end

No such file or directory @ unlink_internal - /tmp/a.pid

Looks like this is a race, and the pidfile disappears right after the exists has been runt.

I think either the check and delete should be flocked or the delete should not fail if the file is not there.

I get following warning when using pidfile gem with Ruby v2.1.0:
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.0/gems/pidfile-0.3.0/lib/pidfile.rb:109: warning: File.exists? is a deprecated name, use File.exist? instead

I know how to fix that (fork & pull request), put how does this possible fix get into RubyGems so that I get in when installing the gem?

I ask this also because, it seems I still have the old version where default pidfile directory is /tmp instead of /var/run.
