In case of input it may matter who has chance to consume it. In this
case of output every output of every process is dumped to /dev/null; I'd go
with this simpler approach in this case (and probably in all other cases;
If we wanted to (debug) log things we used `--batch` and redirecs to log
files instead of /dev/null).
