Well the idea behind (kill -HUP `cat /var/run/process.pid`) is that it
makes it easy
to integrate into scripts.. the /var/run/inetd.pid simply contains
the current process id of
inetd... you'll find others located in /var/run such as
httpd/gdm/crond/sendmail/syslog/etc....
need a quick way to HUP a system daemon in your script ? This is the
way, a much better alternative to grepping through ps listing and
finding the process.
