Argus CLI requesting to write pid file

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Robin,
OK, so I made it so using the -X option removes the PID creation  
function.
This is a bit of an exception.  Using the -X option should force  
argus into
its default operation, and PID creation is the default, when running  
as a daemon.

So lets see how this goes for awhile.  New code should be up later  
today.
