PID files are evil, unreliable things which are often stale and

we're better off without

FTR - in SMEServer land, we've moved from supervise to the runit workalike:

as the latter doesn't have djb's license restrictions, and has some nice extra
features, such as a finish script. Well worth a look, IMO.
