/var/run/chef-client.pid and instruct the chef-client process to write its PID
to this file when daemonizing. Without a pidfile, the status and onestatus
command fall back to process inspection. If chef is run with a resource defined
to :stop the chef_client service, such as chef-client::cron, then the
non-daemonized chef-client process effectivelly kills itself by running
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/chef_client status and /usr/local/etc/rc.d/chef_stop.
Run chef-client manually, then run /usr/local/etc/rc.d/chef_client onestatus.
The status will report chef-client running with the PID of the manually invoked
chef-client process.
