If the script was successfully started, then this functions returns the PID
of that script. Otherwise, it returns 0.
Running this function with a *numThreads* argument of 0 will return false without running the script.
However, running this function with a negative *numThreads* argument will cause a runtime error.

The PID will always be a positive integer.

argument will cause a runtime error.
