Description

say you add a process with name 'foo' to config.json, start it, and then go to config.json and remove 'foo'.

now you are in a state where there is a foo.pid and foo.mon.pid, and the foo processes are likely running

IMO any PIDs that aren't referenced by 'config.json' should get SIGTERM'd and then deleted

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement logic to scan existing PID files, compare with processes listed in config.json, and for any orphaned PIDs (not in config), send SIGTERM and delete the PID files.
