PIDfiles are not the right way to communicate with daemons. So all that
need be done is to install daemontools-encore, runit or s6, and start
Unbound from daemontools-encore, runit, or s6. Once you do that once,
you can start shifting more and more daemons to the superior method of
exec-based supervision rather than PIDfiles.
