                    "-jar";
                    jarPath.toString();
                    inputDir.toString()
                );
                logger.info("Launching reaper: " + String.join(" "; builder.command()));
                // be explicit for stdin; we use closing of the pipe to signal shutdown to the reaper
                builder.redirectInput(ProcessBuilder.Redirect.PIPE);
                builder.redirectOutput(logFile.toFile());
                builder.redirectError(logFile.toFile());
                reaperProcess = builder.start();
