We currently use ps to check whether smbd or nmbd are running when a PID file is found, ie get rid of stale PID files instead of trying to shutdown a non existing daemon. I'm not completely sure this is the best way to go (however it works, so breaking this in order to avoid adding a dependency would be risky). Other advices?
