Same problem as the original code.  It could kill all children sshd which
would kill your remote session if you are upgrading OpenSSH.

Somene stated sshd.pid should be used, and I agree mostly.  However pid
files get corrupted too easily.  I'd like a fall back method if sshd.pid
is not right.  However no fallback method I know off hand would protect
the sshd children from being killed.

BTW..  Jos.. It is nice you like Dan Bernstein's tools.  But I sure the
hell ain't going to make them 'required' for a stupid little start/stop
script.  When I myself do not like most of his works nor his licensing.
