write PID file for a bhyve process

Running bhyve leaves processes running as VM/daemons for a long time.
Have their PID handy and ready is a nice bonus.

Include patch writes a pid file

Fix assignment.
Comment 2 Steve Wills freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-05-21 13:44:24 UTC 
Any updates on this? Seems useful, any reason it can't be committed?
Comment 3 Peter Grehan freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-05-21 23:22:09 UTC 
The patch should probably use the pidfile functions in libutil unless there's a compelling reason otherwise, and use '-F' as the option since xhyve started using that (it also has an implementation of this).
Comment 4 Willem Jan Withagen 2016-09-26 13:35:22 UTC 
Has been solved by Peter Grehan, in a different way.
