Sure, and PIDCreate is as follow. So seems that is not a file but a record in the db, but he has just checked in it.

sub PIDCreate {
    my ( $Self, %Param ) = @_;

    # check needed stuff
    if ( !$Param{Name} ) {
        $Self->{LogObject}->Log( Priority => 'error', Message => 'Need Name' );
        return;
    }

    # check if already exists
    my %ProcessID = $Self->PIDGet(%Param);
    if ( %ProcessID && !$Param{Force} ) {
        if ( $ProcessID{Created} > ( time() - 3600 ) ) {    # 60 * 60
            $Self->{LogObject}->Log(
                Priority => 'notice',
                Message  => "Can't create PID $ProcessID{Name}, because it's already running "
                    . "($ProcessID{Host}/$ProcessID{PID})!",
            );
            return;
        }

        $Self->{LogObject}->Log(
            Priority => 'notice',
            Message  => "Removed PID ($ProcessID{Name}/$ProcessID{Host}/$ProcessID{PID}, "
                . "because 1 hour old!",
        );
    }

    # delete if extists
    $Self->PIDDelete(%Param);

    # sql
    my $Time = time();
    return $Self->{DBObject}->Do(
        SQL => 'INSERT INTO process_id'
            . ' (process_name, process_id, process_host, process_create)'
            . ' VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)',
        Bind => [ \$Param{Name}, \$Self->{PID}, \$Self->{Host}, \$Time ],
    );
}

The PostMasterMailbox.pl script contains the following code;

# create pid lock
if ( !$Opts{f} && !$CommonObject{PIDObject}->PIDCreate( Name =>
'PostMasterMailbox' ) ) {
   print "NOTICE: PostMasterMailbox.pl is already running (use '-f 1'
if you want to start it ";
   print "forced)!\n";
   exit 1;
}

There may be a file that has the PID of the PostMasterMailbox process
in it which you will need to remove.
Unfortunatley I don't know where this might be. i would assume
somewhere in the OTRS directory structure. Look out for files like
PostMasterMailbox, pid and lock.
