Contribution alwys is nice, and I'm rather busy these days.  So I would
be happy if you can put work into it.  Thanks!

<uptime> will not work though in a file that's only written when some
status changes, this should be <starttime> instead I guess.  And you
suggested to differentiate the run/finish return codes by 'exited
cleanly', and 'killed by signal'.  To make numeric tests (`test "$runrc"
-lt 0`) work, how about 0-255 for 'exited cleanly', and -SIGNO for
'killed by signal'?  What if ./run or ./finish did not exit yet?

Thanks, Gerrit.
