I was always curious why people uses so complicated command to find
a pid of process (note double last awks).  Should this be simple like
(untested, just the "idea")"

  pid=`ps ax | awk "/$DAEMONNAME/ { print $1 }"`

Or, better yet,

  ps -u avpd | awk "$4 == \"$DAEMONNAME\" { print $1; }"

The same can be done with sed, e.g.

  ps -u avpd | sed -n "s|^\\([0-9]*\\) .* $DAEMONNAME\$|\\1|p"

[]
                ./$DAEMONNAME -dl -MD -MP -dp -V -* -f=/ctl /tst 

 -MD (check mail databases) is redundrand, but (as stated in docs)
will slow avpdaemon significantly.  "Mail databases" are things like
MS Exchange / Outlook / whatether mail storage, if I understand this
correctly.

 -MP -- yes, this is what needed, but can be configured in .ini file
(and -MD too).

 -dp - disable using AvpPid file -- wow, this one is for more work!
It will write it's AvpPid in /var/spool/avp/ctl/AvpPid, and thus easy
to find, no ps/grep/awk logic anymore! ;)

 -* -- be careful with this, better yet include it in quotes.  Anyway,
it is useless.

I'm sorry I have no time now (and wow, i installing drweb right now! ;)
