+NAME
+    Proc::PidUtil - PID file management utilities
+
+SYNOPSIS
+      use Proc::PidUtil qw(
+            if_run_exit
+            is_running
+            make_pidfile
+            zap_pidfile
+            get_script_name
+            :all
+      );
+
+DESCRIPTION
+    Proc::PidUtil provides utilities to manage PID files
+
+    * $rv = if_run_exit('path',$message);
+      This routine checks for a file named:
+
+        '(scriptname).pid
+
+      in the the $path directory. If a file is found and the PID found in
+      the file is currently a running job, there is no return, the
+      subroutine prints the (scriptname): $pid, $message to STDERR and
+      exits.
+
+      If there is no file or the PID does not match a running job, run_exit
+      returns true.
+
+        input:        path for pidfiles
+        return:       true if not running
+                      else exits
+
+      Note: also exits if $path is false
+
+    * $rv = is_running('path2pidfile');
+      Check that the job described by the pid file is running.
+
+        input:        path 2 pid file
+        returns:      pid or false (0) if not running
+
+    * $rv = make_pidfile('path2pidfile',$pid);
+      Open a pid file and insert the pid value.
+
+        input:        path 2 pid file,
+                      pid value || $$
+        returns:      pid or false (0) on error
+
+    * $rv = zap_pidfile($path);
+        input:        path for pidfiles
+        returns:      return value of 'unlink'
+
+    * $me = get_script_name();
+      This function returns the script name portion of the path found in $0;
+
+        input:        none
+        returns:      script name
+
+        i.e.  if the script name is:
+        /usr/local/stuff/scripts/sc_admin.pl
+
+        $me = get_script_name();
+
+        returns ('sc_admin.pl')
