Program name not related to its pid file, you try to introduce unnecesarry restriction. If program not test pid file via flock(), it deserves ... I.e. all programs except gated and few others got what they want. So, they require modifications to check locking, so it is impossible to validate pid files without applications modifications (as I already say in previous letter). Modification of each such application is not acceptable solution. -- Andrey A. Chernov http://www.nagual.pp.ru/~ache/
