Hi Patrick,
RedHat is putting the process id for the applications in the */etc/* directory
where the applications configuration lives (i.e. /etc/mail/sendmail.pid) - but
they are using the /var/run/{procname}.pid scheme too (i.e.
/var/run/httpd.pid).
Take a look at:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-5.13.html
www.pathnames.com is a affiliate group of www.freestandards.org - a group which
tries to standardize the (directory) layout for unix-like operating systems
(primary Linux).
According to that document the way */etc/*/{procname}.pid is the "old" way for
linux systems.
For HP-UX read (it is valid since HP-UX 10.0):
http://devresource.hp.com/STKLI/man/11iv1.5/hier_5.html
They are using /var/run/{procname}.pid too.
Sun is doing it since Solaris 8. Please read "man filesystem" if you can access
a machine with Solaris 8 or read the man page under http://docs.sun.com
Yes, you was wrong with that assumption - but noboby knows all.
Hope that helps
Marc
