You don't have to use pid files. Just kill it using: start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --quiet --exec $DAEMON where $DAEMON is whatever path+name you used to start it. Last June, Peter Alexiou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said he'd make a checkups package. Perhaps he can provide an unofficial one? (There are of course lots of packages dump-mode UPS monitors. I like and have packaged powstatd.
