The problem is not detecting ptp4l start, that we can easily do using management messages. The problem is ptp4l going away, and inotify cannot help with that. Moreover, pid file won't work with multiple domains, unless you ask ptp4l about the pid file path, and then you can just ask about the pid directly.
