[AMaViS-user] PID File Issues

I am running amavisd-new 2.54. along with postfix on CentOS 5.1 on a
mail server. There was an unclean shutdown of the mail server and when
the system was started again, amavisd failed to start. Upon restarting
amavisd, the following error was generated in the logs:

(!)Net::Server: 2008/04/25-09:14:18 Pid_file already exists for running
process (2440)... aborting\n\n at line 277 in
file /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Net/Server.pm

The problem was solved by deleting the files /var/amavis/amavisd.lock
and /var/amavis/amavisd.pid and restarting amavisd. What needs to be
done so that this problem does not happen again ?

Thanks,
