Hello Thank You all for hints. I did something else.
ln -s /usr/lib/postfix/master /usr/lib/postfix/master-second Edit file : /etc/postfix-second/postfix-script , I changed all 'master' to 'master-second',so : postfix -c /etc/postfix-second stop will not kill first instance only the second one. Now each of instances has a different process name and can be matched uniquely. Once I upgrade the Postfix,I'll change this scenario and use 'postmulti' feature.
