Name it reaperhack:
    reaperhack is what it says: a hack. Ideally, you should never have
to use it. It is only useful when you want to supervise a daemon that
results in orphans; and even then, the right thing is to report this
as a bug to the author of the program leaving orphans and have it
fixed.
