Well I was wrong. Somehow that spawned script is NOT killed when the
script that spawned it finishes. Maybe I've misunderstood what I've
read. I tried it with a loop that would always iterate 5 times at 1
second intervals, and it kept iterating even after the calling script
had ended. As far as I can tell, that's not standard bash behaviour, so
I'm at a loss to explain it. However, it means that the bit of code, in
my SQLITE-control.sh script above, where squeezelite is started
('/home/tc/restartSQLITE.sh &'), apparently doesn't need changing.
