Bug#926896: sysvinit-utils: pidof is unreliable

[Hoyer, David]

I agree - I was just keeping the style consistent.   I would argue that it was 
totally unnecessary to do the check to all of these in the first place.   I 
would also argue that a function should be added which performs this clean up 
so that it does not have to be repeated multiple times like it is and 
potentially miss one free (like it did).
