We don't know a priori that your service will only have one PID at startup, or may not create more as time goes on. We store only the contract, sorry. (But, sometimes you can send a specific signal to some daemons to tell them to do a graceful shutdown. :kill takes signal arguments so you can choose something more or less violent as appropriate for your services. Don't know if that's available for mysql.) liane
