I don’t know whether you are aware of how a UNIX system works, but you
might not have heard of how orphan processes are managed.

If a parent process terminates, then its "zombie" children (if any) are
adopted by init(8), which automatically performs a wait to remove the
zombies.
Said otherwise, it is not possible to write a reliable service manager
without integrating it to what happens in process #1.
