It used to run until aborted, but in some cases something was preventing it from terminating when collectd was restarted, leaving multiple copies in the system.

We could have added a SIGTERM handler, and maybe that would have fixed the problem, but I only know how to do that for a specific shell, e.g. bash, and I don't know if bash is always available. Maybe one day we should review the way collectd spawns these plug-ins, since the examples I found online didn't handle signals explicitly either.
