Existing ~/.eye directory causes eye to misbehave about eye HOT 4 CLOSED

~/.eye not related to the process pids, you specify pid_file for every process.

Yes, i meet sometimes this problem too, when reboot and not call eye stop all && eye quit before, after reboot eye read pids from pid_files, and it can happen that there is already alive process with that pid (rare situation, but possible), so eye can kill that wrong process (or sometimes itself)
I also think about saving pid + name, for that situation, (god, bluepill, monit seems not doing this)

This is why eye is so much better than those other ones :P - That would be awesome!

I'm not sure if this worked, after a reboot I can see this this last line in eye.log:

[2014-12-11 16:54:00 +0000] [recorder:52121f67c5399f42b400d4fc:recorder] process <9885> did not die after TERM, sending KILL

And then boom, Eye is dead - I think it still kills itself if the server is rebooted uncleanly :(

dup of #62
