The pid file contains two pids: the pid of the parent process and
the pid of the child process, in that order. The child process is
always the actual storage server process. When using zdaemon (the
default), the parent is the zdaemon process. Otherwise (when the -s
option is used), the parent is the shell (script) that started the
storage server. (XXX The usefulness of writing both pids is
unclear.)
When using zdaemon (the default), the pid file contains the pid of
the zdaemon process. Otherwise (when the -s option is used), the
pid file contains the storage server's own pid.
Note that zdaemon forwards signals to the child process.
Specifically, it forwards all those signals listed above, plus
SIGQUIT and SIGUSR1.
SIGINT, SIGQUIT and SIGUSR1.
