Description:
if starting the agent on Windows as a service there is no .pid file created, although "pid-file = ..." is specified in the .ini file.

When starting the agent from a command prompt ("mysql-service-agent.exe -f mysql-service-agent.ini") it creates the .pid file.

How to repeat:
- start agent both as a Windows service and from the command prompt

Suggested fix:
write .pid also if started as a service

an existing .pid file is not removed if agent is started as a service, so the file will show a wrong PID in this case.

fixed in [6404].

the win32-service code and the cmdline code use the same functions now.
