Yeah, as Scott already mentioned, pidfiles introduce their own set of problems, but also they aren't a solution for all use cases. E.g. the daemon I was dealing with does not have any way to write out a pidfile, forks multiple times, requires a script to do some setup before it's launched, and is a third party and closed source, so I can't do anything about this mess ;)
