Hi,

when I have a session for /dev/ttyUSB0 defined, cereal won't let me
create a second one ('/dev/ttyUSB0' is already being monitored by
session 'other-session-name'). I can think of two trivial situations
where this may be desired:

(1)
I am using the same port to connect to different hosts that need
different settings, for example a different baud rate

(2)
I am moving the same host between places where the same port is being
used for device A1 in location A and for device B1 in location B.

In both situations, it is desireable to have both sessions always
defined (for example, to keep log files around), and that's fine as
long as only one session is started at a given time.

Please consider giving cereal-admin create a --force switch which will
switch of the "is already being monitored" check for such situations.
Doing the check by default is fine for the majority of cases, but it
should be possible to disable it if one knows what one does.

I am currently forced to go through the stop-destroy-create-start
routine way too often instead of just being able to do stop-start.

Greetings
Marc
