I take an app crash before an app cannot run until you reboot anyday.
And btw there is no 'delete a file under a running process here...
that box run as a single-job jenkins slave-bot... and the same
workload run on linux and mac... never crashed to date.
App crash, I can automate recovery... system reboot based on vague,
unreliable, build result.. not so much.
