Unfortunately the su causes $! to return a PID for the su process, which disappears instantly. So writing it to /var/run/webkit.pid later in the init script is worthless; what we really want is the PID of $LAUNCH. I guess the trailing & needs to be moved, but I can't figure it out right now. Anyone else?
A little more investigation shows that other daemons, such as sshd or xinetd, write their pid files themselves (their init scripts don't do it for them). That should be pretty easy to do from python as well in Launch.py, and I believe I saw Ian mention that the experimental standalone WebKit does this, since it writes one pid file per application server.
