Well. I have the same problem and I am running SER as root. If I have to stop SER I have to use killall ser. I checked the permissions of /var/run and they are dtwxr-xr-x so to me seems to be OK. Any other idea?

Root ? If not , then probably when u start ser , it cant write to /var/run/ser.pid , which is the default path and requires root permission.

I have searched for ser.pid on my system and it is not there (was just making sure that serctl was not looking in the wrong spot for the PID file). Any suggestions??
