Set the environment variable RHQ_SERVER_PIDFILE_DIR to a full path of the directory where you want the pidfile to get stored. When you run the script, that variable’s value will override the default location. If you have an older script (2.1 or older), directly edit rhq-server.sh and change /var/run to the directory that you want.
