saltstack/salt — Issue #761: pidfile support for services

State: open

I'd like to be able to specify a pidfile for service definitions, e.g.:

```
nagios-nrpe-server:
service:
- running
- sig: /usr/sbin/nrpe
- pidfile: /var/run/nrpe.pid
```

Specifying the pidfile should make process status detection more robust. I've written a version of the service module and service state that accept a pidfile; are you interested in integrating my version?
