Isn't it better to make vpopmail leave a pid file instead then?

Cause when I chroot my qmail it doesn't have ps, nor does it have /proc

 Hi Raboo Treed,
 you wrote.
 
 RT why does for example  vadddomain and vdeldomain require /bin/ps ???
 
 So that it can HUP qmail?

No. ps output is always right, an old pid file could point to the wrong 
process.

 Sure, if Vpopmail actually had a daemonized process, but it doesn't.  ps 
 is used to find the pid of whatever Qmail process (qmail-send, qmails-smtpd 
 etc etc) that needs to be restarted in order to reload the 
 configuration.  Every time you add/delete a domain, Qmail must be restarted 
 to notice.
