install_bigfix.sh doesn't check for pre-existance of BigFix, might cause problem with RPM #2

needs improvement: https://github.com/jgstew/tools/blob/master/bash/install_bigfix.sh

The RPM installer seems to have an issue when the client already exists. This seems like a flaw in the RPM installer as much as anything else.

From CentOS:

This seems to be the proper method for upgrades for the RPM client installer:

/etc/init.d/besclient stop
rpm -U BESAgent.rpm
/etc/init.d/besclient start

It is a bit annoying to have to do it this way, but it may be better than possibly leaving things in an odd state.

Should be solved by: https://github.com/jgstew/tools/commit/15c97b8e46224d52cb301737b65458de26bca720
