[KARAF-4330] Instance script doesn't return correct PID number if root instance is started two times

Description

Use case:

• Run a first Karaf root instance
• Check the PID with instance script
• Run a second Karaf root instance, the script will hang as expected
• Check the PID with the instance script. The PID will be the one from the second instance even if it's not started correctly and it's hanging.
• Kill the second instance
• Check the PID with the instance script. The PID is now 0 and the status is stopped, but we have the first instance currently running.

This is not a normal workflow, I see. Starting two times the root instance or two instances with the same instance name is not correct, but anyway it's something we should consider to manage.
