You have two options (both were done by OpenPKG in the past): either
add pid file writing to the application (usually very easy, see
qpopper.spec) or you have use "rpmtool signal". The first one is
preferred because has no side-effects. The second one is more risky,
especially if there are multiple OpenPKG instances with the same package
installed.
