I am runing freshclam as a daemon and the man page for freshclam says "--pid=FILE Save daemon's pid in FILE." I have always ran freshclam as a daemon without saving the pid file. Whats the point? I know how to pass this command I just don't understand the point of this if it already works.
Sometimes it's handy to put the pid in a file, mainly if
(1) you're scripting the start/stop of the daemon
(2) you might be running multiple instances from different locations
(3) you're just anal like that
