Is there a way to catch errors?

[nfriend]

If I start a second instance of a node-livereload server, I get the follow message and a stack trace, which is to be expected:

Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::35729
    ... stacktrace here ...

However, I can't figure out a way to catch and prevent this message from being printed in the console. I've tried try/catch, but the error happens asynchronously (and probably in another process?).

My use-case for this: I'd like to be able to catch the error and print a friendlier error message, like "Unable to start the LiveReload server! This is most likely because you have another instance of the LiveReload server running on this port."

@nfriend How are you invoking the server? Through the CLI or are you using the API directly?

I'm using the API directly:

const livereload = require('livereload');

const server = livereload.createServer();
server.watch('path/to/watch');

@nfriend 0.7.0 is released. It now supports an error event you can watch. The examples/ folder has an example of this.
