Okay, I will wait for the process to stop for 30 seconds (by default - I think this should be made easily configurable using /etc/default/collectd so it can be adapted for really large setups) similar to squid as you proposed in an earlier E-mail, print an error message if the process is still running after that amount of time and return a non-zero exit status. Any comments?
