 If running `$ synctl start` fails with 'returned non-zero exit status 1',
 you will need to explicitly call Python2.7 - either running as::
 
-    $ python2.7 -m synapse.app.homeserver --daemonize -c homeserver.yaml --pid-file homeserver.pid
+    $ python2.7 -m synapse.app.homeserver --daemonize -c homeserver.yaml
     
 ...or by editing synctl with the correct python executable.
