What do you think about using /proc/$pid/cmdline instead?
Just found out that this wont work with ssh_args set in /ec/conf.d/sshd. My last resort would be stripping that possible "(deleted)" fro mthe readlink output.
Here's another way to check if the pid file is valid: if pidof sshd | grep -q $(cat /var/run/sshd.pid); then echo "pid in /var/run/sshd.pid is valid" else echo "invalid pid" fi -- Byron Clark
