I am trying to find a solution where I can call the same `forever start` command multiple times and have subsequent calls be ignored if the script is already running. Is there a way to do that?

Maybe we could check for the `--pidFile` option and if the file exists and the PID in the file is for a forever controlled process that is still running it exits right away.
