Changing installation parameters won't change anything, but just 
desinstalling Proc::PID::File should be enough.

Anyway, running the agent as a daemon is only useful if you to force 
scheduling of its execution from server-side. And running two different 
agents as daemons seems really a corner case, given you can already run 
a single agent with multiple controlling servers.
