I tried it out, it works. Personally I'd write something like this in Rust not shell. It's not hard at all, you basically can just ignore the borrow checker because all the program is doing is spawning processes and a bit of text processing. The main issue with writing it in shell instead is incorrect error handling. I see a case that's a bit sketchy there. For now maybe don't expose wcurl to user/attacker controlled input.

Why would you bother with such a heavy language, just to wait on a single network event?

  Because of the error checking problem shell has. I'll put it on my list to check the script, so I won't only be complaining.

    I checked it. Looks okay, but Bash errors are pretty subtle.
