OK, I guess the issue here is that we don't capture the exit status from
the "shell" action ... all the other actions will succeed by definition.

seems like there is one too many level of fork() that is getting in
the way. Do you have a simple test case?

Yes the man page is incorrect (I've fixed it) ... this is indeed
falling temperature ... to get rising temperature you need
environ.temp @0 - environ.temp @1 > 2
