(** [execute ~ticker ~period ~display ~exit commands] will execute the commands
in [commands] in parallel, correctly multiplexing their outputs.
A command is a function that given a unit [()] returns the shell command
string to execute, commands are functions in order to do some job just
before executing the command. These functions will be called once. If
specified, it will call [ticker] at least every [period] seconds. If
specified, it will call [display f] when it wishes to print something;
[display] should then call [f] with then channel on which [f] should
print.
Note that if the shell command to execute is the empty string [""], it's
considered as a no-op.
Note that [f] must be idempotent as it may well be called twice, once for
the log file, once for the actual output.
If one of the commands fails, it will exit with an appropriate error code,
calling [cleanup] before.
All exits are done trough the call to the given [exit] function, if not
supplied Pervasives.exit is used.
