the existence of the PID file only gives a hint; its contents (the PID of
the process) should then be checked to see if that particular process is
indeed (still) running.

If you know where the .pid file is, you can read that and check if the
process is
running, e.g. via ps --pid `cat /var/run/apache2.pid`
