I need lsb compliant start/stop scripts so I can successfully use
things like monit and heartbeat, so I updated backgroundrb''s newer
start/stop module to be more lsb compliant. Specifically, my version
1) responds to status and restart 2) start cleans the old pidfile in
case of dead/crased process, and 3) made stop exit 0 if already stopped.
Also, unrelated to lsb compliance but really handy, I moved require
statements and the environment load to only the start method, so all
other actions (ex. stop, status) happen immediately without loading
all of rails.
