Jens, this works great, thanks, I hadn't heard of pgrep:

$ pgrep -u phil firefox
10812

to find out the process id, use pgrep instead of your "ps -fe | grep ${1} | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f 6 > ${PIDFILE}"

Jens

Hi,
I had the same problem. I solved it doing this:

In your init script, after launch the daemon in the “start” function you can use this:
pidof $prog > $pidfile

Sorry for the bad example, but it seems the field for the comments doesn’t sorting anything. So, look at your console and see when you have 3 number PID, 4 and even 5 number PID how they are sorted.
