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

I=E2=80=99m putting the sleep(500), properly commented, (what manual sect=
ion is sleep(500) in? =E2=98=BA) into cat to get the same effect.  Thanks=
, Russ!

Now for the detection and respawning...  I=E2=80=99ll hold off on asking =
for hints for a little while and try to figure it out myself.

Good nigh=E2=80=94 ye flipplin=E2=80=99 gods, it=E2=80=99s already mornin=
g! =E2=80=94 folks,
