Hello Gilles, It's pretty useful for service's monitoring and management. For example, I could use process status checks in initialization scripts in more common way (``if [ -n "`pidfileofproc smtpd`" ] ; then ``) - things we've already got in openssh and other daemons.
That would be good to have a smtpd command line option which sets a PID file, or alternatively hardcoded during configure & compile (like, "--with-pidfile=/var/run/smtpd.pid"). P.S. I've been using opensmtpd for a week and am really impressed with its small memory footprint and performance. Keep up the good work! --- wbr, Denis.
