tail <defunct> about fluent-agent-lite HOT 4 CLOSED

Pseudo code would be like

my $start_time = Time::HiRes::time();
while (Time::HiRes::time() - $start_time < $reconnect_wait) {
    Time::HiRes::sleep(0.5); # not sure proper interval
    if child process exit {
        warnf "failed to read from child process, maybe killed.";
        confess "give up to read tailing fd, see logs";
    }
}

instead of AgentLite.pm#L116.
