Usage: rpmanager.sh OPTIONS

The OPTIONS are:

-h|--help           print this message and exit

--start             start the RetroPie-Manager

--stop              stop the RetroPie-Manager

--isrunning         show if RetroPie-Manager is running and the
                    listening port and exit

--log               save the log messages (optional, default: not save log
                    messages, only works with --start)

-u|--user USER      start RetroPie-Manager as USER (only available for
                    privileged users, only works with --start, USER must
