No - the interpreter will exit when it's done executing the script.
If it isn't exiting, that would suggest it's still executing it -
likely stuck within one of those while (1) loops.
If your host wanted to be particularly helpful, when they see a process
stuck using up CPU time, they could attach with strace and see what
syscalls it's making at the time, as that *might* give some kind of
clue.
Alternatively, you could sprinkle debugging log messages throughout,
hoping that will let you see by looking at the logs what's going on.
Or, you could see if you can install and use Runops::Recorder which can
trace and record the execution flow of your program.
