pid_file Parameter
------------------

   (type=string, default=`/dev/stdout').  Specify a file to store the
process ID of the running daemon into.  If not specified, Amd will
print its process id onto the standard output.  Useful for killing Amd
after it had run.  Note that the PID of a running Amd can also be
retrieved via Amq (Note: Amq -p option).

   This file is used only if the `print_pid' option is on (Note:
print_pid Parameter).
