I think we can do what we originally mentioned with a twist:

ubuntu-emulator create emulator # creates an instance with no preassigned
port
ubuntu-emulator run emulator # assigns a port to an emulator by checking
the available ports
ubuntu-emulator list --verbose # dumps a json; if the emulator is running
it will list a port, if not it won't

Of course I'll have to deal with the burden of stale files due to
killing/stopping the emulator in many different ways.
