This belongs to the scope of the script and it doesn't seem to be
useful for the internal operation of ulogd2.
You can generate that PID file with something like:
ps -ef | grep ulogd$ | awk '{ printf $2 }'
And someone may want to have more than one instance of ulogd2, that's
perfectly possible. Actually that's a good idea if you need to log
both NFLOG and NFCT at the same time and you're running ulogd2 in a
multi-core system. That will help to avoid hitting Netlink overrun
errors.
Regards.
