Comment:

 (In [054fd6a6d3a79fd26d5136b0a486413bce55ff24]) Revisit the managers code
 to start and stop the child.

 Eliminate SIGCHLD usage, it's icky, at best, when we have other
 child processes (See #1256)

 Instead of reaping the child on SIGCHLD, we do it explicitly,
 and there is now a 10 second wait to give the child a chance to
 shut down gracefully, before we take a bat to the kneecaps.

 More work may be warranted, but I want to get some feedback on
 this bit first.

 Fixes   #1256
