Since local agents generate files with all required information for connecting, we should implement a way to connect to these agents similar to current dynamic attach using PID.
Extending this functionality: there should be a way how to control any alive Profiler agent on the system (maybe also remote?) which isn't profiling, this means attach to that agent and start profiling or perform shutdown if it stays alive (zombie blocking port and target app) after some exception/communication fault.
