The patch checks for the pidfile at startup, and if it exists the 
program exits.

A couple of things to note.

If you want to run multiple instances of the enforcer for any reason you 
will now need to specify a different pidfile with the -P option.

If an enforcer process doesn't shutdown cleanly, leaving its pidfile 
behind, this will need to be removed before the enforcer will restart.
