(As far as the GNU version of "kill" goes, a "kill -0 $PID" will tell you whether a process with that PID still exists; I've seen that used in some init.d scripts. Not foolproof, of course.)
Thanks for the tip. It is the way to determine if pidfile is stale. But chances are that the PID is already assinged to another process. So 'kill -0 $PID' is not definitely reliable.
Well, stunnel reload is not used very often so it may be excluded from the init script. Simple start/stop are probably enough.
