My application changes some of the config files for a daemon

the .pid file get the number and run the kill command through
AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges().
The problem is on older OS X versions (10.3.4) this .pid file
does not exist. Is there an easier way to kill a root process, or
get the PID for it?
A better solution might be to use a kqueue to monitor the config file
and respond appropriately within the daemon when it changes. This
will also ensure that the daemon won't be disrupted in the middle of
an operation -- that it can choose to reconfigure itself at the most
opportune time.
