How to clear a PID on Solaris HQ-server conflict

Hey people, the title says it all. I installed HQ-Server on a solaris box. I started the first time, everything looked good. I stopped so that I could make a few minor configuration changes (localhost to IP in the conf files), then tried to restart the server, but got this error
HQ server is already running (pid 986).

the pid is not listed in ps or top or lsof.

is there a file that I could not find with grep that contains the pid? The PID is stored in the DB? If yes how can I erase it?

Thank you

Deeboh

The pid of the server file is kept in [server_install_directory]/logs/hq-server.pid. Starting the server must detect or not this pid is outdated and react accordingly.

I could see this break if you started the server as a user (as root) and then tried to restart it as another user (such as hyperic) where second start did not have permissions for over-cuts/remove the old pid information.
