<p>Starts Pman. It will use the previously saved trace settings

the user's home directory, if such a file exists. Otherwise
standard trace settings will be used. The return value should
be ignored.</p>
<p><c>Excluded</c> is a list of module names. If the argument is
present, processes currently executing in any of these modules
will not be shown by Pman.</p>
<p><c>start/0,1</c> will fail unless the start-up succeeds
within 20 seconds, whereas <c>start_notimeout/0,1</c> will
