originally in description of the start config file it read:
"The last line must be exec "$@" equivalent."

Seemed open to interpretation as I needed to deduce what the equivalent of that would be here.
I think adding 'or' before 'equivalent' shows that will work, but I assume other options exist? Or why not say "The last line must be exec "$@""?

I like the suggestion. The "or equivalent" is correct because start doesn't have to be a bash script, it could just as well be a Python script in which case you need to do "the equivalent of exec $@ in Python.
