REVISION SUMMARY
  We detected that pager is waiting for log-to-process script to finish, which
  is annoying when adding a script on commandfinish that does an HTTP push.
  
  There seems to be no workaround on the script side and it will make the
  behavior on Linux/MacOS closer to the Windows behavior.
  
  The drawback is that it makes the related tests more flaky as log-to-process
  outputs are now really asynchronous.
  
  If it's considered a BC change, another option would be to add a config option
  for this new behavior. I personally think that the different behavior between
  Windows and Linux is confusing and that it's a bug I would be fine with a new
  config option.
