Issue #16125 has been updated by R.I. Pienaar.

the pidfile also tells mcollective if the daemon is running or not and if its 
currently applying a catalog and at least on unix it tells us where to send the 
USR1

the pifile also prevents multiple agents from applying catalogs at the same time

we'd def want to harmonise as much as possible of this between platforms I think

Bug #16125: Puppet running as windows service does not create pidfile
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16125#change-71226

Author: Josh Cooper
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 3.0.0
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: windows service pidfile
Branch: 


Puppet does not create a pidfile when running as a windows service. On Unix, 
this happens in the `daemon.rb` code, but since we never daemonize on Windows, 
this doesn't happen. Instead the daemon service wrapper needs to create this so 
that mcollective can detect that the service is running and signal it to run.
