create and run already take --pidfile, but the path is fixed at create time and reused on every start. Toolbx wants a fresh path per start so it can learn the PID of the container's entry point, which names the stamp file the entry point creates once it is initialized, before running podman exec. Add the same flag to start. libpod's Container.Start now returns the PID of the container's main process, read while the container lock is still held right after the OCI runtime started it, so the value always belongs to the process this start launched. For a container that is already running it returns the PID of that process together with ErrCtrStateRunning, read under the same lock that saw the running state. start --pidfile writes this PID to the requested path. The flag only works for a single container and is rejected together with --attach. As documented for create and run --pidfile, it is not available on the remote client; start returns an error there rather than silently ignoring the flag.
