if i delete the BBPID files, would a start stop then be successfull?
If it is the case that it only happens when i have outdated files, and a
possible solution would be to remove them, then this would be an
acceptable solution.

My main Problem is, that this failure happens every time when i perform
a stop/start ... i tought bbrun.sh wipes out this files after every stop
execution?

yes once, when our NAS crashed, BB hung completely, so i had to kill the
