Of course, it'd be nice if we could solve PID races entirely. The POSIX system is unbelievably broken compared to how NT does it. (No, "PID wraparound happens slow enough not to matter" is not a good foundation for a robust system.)



Doesn't e.g. systemd solve this problem? (PID files are just a bad idea.)
