2149	"""tahoe start"" emits an error message when tahoe is already running"	zooko	daira	"In #2146, joeyh reports that there is a problem with git-annex's use of tahoe-lafs, which is that when git-annex invokes {{{tahoe start}}}, then if the tahoe process is already running, {{{tahoe start}}} emits some error messages on stderr:

{{{
joey@darkstar:~/tmp/r>git annex get file
get file (from tahoe...) STARTING '/home/joey/.tahoe/git-annex/ba05f2d7-a100-4ffe-bd82-d2da70f94313'
Another twistd server is running, PID 26595

This could either be a previously started instance of your application or a
different application entirely. To start a new one, either run it in some other
directory, or use the --pidfile and --logfile parameters to avoid clashes.

git-annex doesn't want to ignore messages sent to stderr, so instead it would like for {{{tahoe start}}} not to complain about an already-started process."	enhancement	closed	normal	1.14.0	code-nodeadmin	1.10.0	wontfix	usability error cli
