I raised the possibility of moving the pid file only last week. Tom

"And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear
ye not; for I know that ye seek Jesus, who was
crucified. He is not here; for he is risen, as he
said...Therefore be ye also ready; for in such an hour
as ye think not the Son of man cometh."
Matthew 28:5,6; 24:44
