[Opendnssec-user] Deprecating pid-files?

[Jakob Schlyter]

hi,

We're considering deprecating (i.e. no longer create) pid-files for the signer engine and the enforcer. Stopping the signer engine is already done using 'ods-signer stop' (which communicates with ods-signerd using a socket), and the plan is to implement the same type of command-and-control interface for the enforcer.

Can anyone find a good reason to keep the pid-files around? If one is lucky, the pid-file contains the pid of the current running process. If one is (very) unlucky, the pid-file contains the pid of something completely different...
