Follow-up for #1130 , reap zombies but don't block.
As an operator using an interactive session, I want to be able to run a command like
execute /bin/bash -c 'sleep 10'
without having to wait for it to finish, because I need a way to launch long-running processes without making the session unusable.Waiting for the command in a separate Goroutine allows to return from the task immediately while making sure no defunct processes are left over.
