 # Purpose
 Every time the PIA VPN starts, it deploys some Ruby files to a random temp directory and then launches those. The random path prevents it from being whitelisted by firewalls. This program helps to run PIA from a fixed location so it can be whitelisted in firewalls.

 # Usage
 Calling this program with no arguments will have it first kill any existing PIA processes and then start up PIA using the fixed `pia_ruby_files` location. If you had PIA set to automatically start with Windows before, that should continue to work - it will call `pia_manager.exe` with no arguments and PIA should start up as usual, but from this fixed path.
 
-If you call `pia_manager.exe` with the `--stop` argument, it will just kill any existing PIA processes. This may be useful for automation applications to give you a way to start/stop PIA at will.
