Wouldn't a `smtpctl status` command (not implemented) achieve the same ?
if `smtpctl status` >/dev/null; then
echo "running"
else
echo "not running"
fi
The problem with pidfile is that we don't do that on OpenBSD, and we try
to not diverge too much in the portable branch, unless there's no way to
achieve the same result in a generic way.
smtpctl is our smtpd control tool so this looks like something it should
handle itself. Also, it would be more reliable as it can talk to the
smtpd socket.
