it would be nice to have some exit code used (or just reserved) for
"operation failed, no need to wait, fail the test please"
similar to the xargs, eg:
126 if the command cannot be run

I see that `sleep 1` is simplest correct impl, but it's tempting to
suggest exponential back-off, perhaps with saturation at 15
(but then you will have to cap last sleep to don't exceed timeout by
more than 1).

just nitpicks so I will provide my RB in case you want to ignore ;)
