Description:
mysqlmanager will delete a PID file for an existing process

How to repeat:
Use my.cnf file attached:

/etc/init.d/mysql start
# mysqlmanager now running but mysqld failed to start
/etc/init.d/mysql start
# mysqlmanager now started up again and when shutting back down removed the pid file
/etc/init.d/mysql stop
# cannot stop mysqlmanager now as the pid file has been removed

Suggested fix:
We should only be removing the pid file if it contains our PID
