pid file

[Carter Bullard]

Gentle people,
Fair enough.  Seems like we'll go with

    basename.interface.#.pid

The first # will be 0.
It should be in tomorrow's upload.  I'll still
leave in the ARGUS_SET_PID= variable if
someone wants to control it a bit.

	I was just about to suggest the same thing. Presumably in the cases
where you are using two interfaces (usually for full duplex I'd assume) you
will know which interfaces are part of the group from having at least one 
specified (and hopefully your basename will tell you what the link is even
without the interface ...).
