pgrep/pkill -F expects \n (Debian Bug report #676709)

Hi, I'm sending the patch to fix Debian bug report #676709: pgrep/pkill -F expects "\n". If not present, no process is found/killed: > wc -l /run/atd.pid 1 /run/atd.pid > pgrep -F /run/atd.pid 1213 > wc -l /run/NetworkManager.pid 0 /run/NetworkManager.pid > pgrep -F /run/NetworkManager.pid Alfredo
