Hello Gilles,

It's pretty useful for service's monitoring and management. For example, I
could use process status checks in initialization scripts in more common
way (``if [ -n "`pidfileofproc smtpd`" ] ; then ``) - things we've already
got in openssh and other daemons.

That would be good to have a smtpd command line option which sets a PID
file, or alternatively hardcoded during configure & compile (like,
"--with-pidfile=/var/run/smtpd.pid").

P.S. I've been using opensmtpd for a week and am really impressed with its
small memory footprint and performance.
Keep up the good work!

wbr, Denis.
