I tried /lib/keyboard as input, and saw the breadcrumb from program end before the end of output; the parent process dies before the pipe breaks!

I’m putting the sleep(500), properly commented, (what manual section is sleep(500) in? ☺) into cat to get the same effect.  Thanks, Russ!

Now for the detection and respawning...  I’ll hold off on asking for hints for a little while and try to figure it out myself.

Good nigh— ye flipplin’ gods, it’s already morning! — folks,
