interactive: may wait for user input, ^C has to work
spawner: "tool PROG ARGS" which changes program's environment - must fork
changes state: e.g. environment, signal handlers
+alloc+xfunc: xmalloc, then xfunc - leaks memory if xfunc dies
+open+xfunc: opens fd, then calls xfunc - fd is leaked if xfunc dies
runner: sometimes may run for long(ish) time, and/or works with network:
^C has to work (cat BIGFILE, chmod -R, ftpget, nc)
