I found this in the mailist archive:
problem: when trying to access MiniVend occassionally would receive:
"We're sorry, the MiniVend server is unavailable..."
when running /mvend/bin/restart I received the message:
"Apparently no MiniVend daemons were up -- no PID files."
solution: according to Web2010 Tech Support
