# Function: pidofproc [-p pidfile] pathname
# The pidofproc function shall return one or more process
# identifiers for a particular daemon using the algorithm
# given above. Only process identifiers of running
# processes should be returned. Multiple process
# identifiers shall be separated by a single space.
# The pidofproc function shall return the LSB defined exit
# status codes for "status". It shall return 0 if the
# program is running and not 0 otherwise.
#
# If the status action is requested, the init script will return
# the following exit status codes.
# 0 program is running or service is OK
# 1 program is dead and /var/run pid file exists
# 2 program is dead and /var/lock lock file exists
# 3 program is not running
# 4 program or service status is unknown
# 5-99 reserved for future LSB use
# 100-149 reserved for distribution use
# 150-199 reserved for application use
# 200-254 reserved
