in reply to Detecting stale pid file under *nix
If you are already checking the /proc/$pid, then why don't you check /proc/$pid/cmdline to see, if it contains name of your daemon? Or you can read destination of the symbolic link /proc/$pid/exe to see if it points to the executable of the daemon
If the daemon is your own application, then you may want to change it so that it listens for termination (or other commands) on some hidden unix socket. Then you can terminate it by writing to that socket.
