well, at least for Red Hat Linux users using postfix RPM packages 
and Cyrus the RPMs I announced yesterday the problem is solved.

I was using both and you can not imagine my surprise when I used
the SysV initscript of Cyrus provided by Red Hat to stop the 
beast and found Postfix dying too (actually almost 12 hours
without SMTP :-/), it is because the script search by process 
name to find the victim ...

Now the initcript included in the RPM does strange things 
to be sure it really finds the Cyrus' master when 
you use the 'status' or the 'stop' commands

This would not be needed with the .pid 
modification Cillian suggests. I vote for it.

To avoid the manpages crash I renamed Cyrus' 
master(8) manpage to cyrmaster(8) (changed both 
the filename and the references to master(8) in 
the other manpages too), it is not very elegant 
because the name of the executable file has not 
changed (I felt not brave enough considering 
maybe some code of the daemons or configuration 
file dependins on it) but...
