Make wrapper script exec application to prevent hanging parent process (shell)

Example:

PID      PPID PRI  NI    VSZ   RSS WCHAN  STAT TTY        TIME COMMAND
12370     858  20   0   7776  5376 do_wai S+   tty2       0:00 /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/catapult
12378   12370  20   0 1256156 198368 do_sys Sl+ tty2      0:00 python3 /usr/local/bin/catapult-start

I did the reverse a while back :-) 446040b

My reasoning was to make killall work as expected. What's your reasoning, a matter of principle, or have you run into some practical issue?

I was annoyed over the unnecessary hanging process - it looked a bit sloppy - I guess that places it in the "principle" category :-)

OK, I'll close this, but I'm open to suggestions if new options for how to arrange these two scripts come up.
