seconds hasn't gathered enough diagnostic data, running longer is not likely to
do so. In fact, in many cases a shorter collection period is appropriate.
This value is used two other times. After collecting, the collect subprocess
will wait another L<"--run-time"> seconds for its commands to finish. Some
commands can take awhile if the system is running very slowly (which can
likely be the case given that a collection was triggered). Since empty files
are deleted, the extra wait gives commands time to finish and write their
data. The value is potentially used again just before the tool exits to wait
again for any collect subprocesses to finish. In most cases this won't
happen because of the aforementioned extra wait. If it happens, the tool
will log "Waiting up to N seconds for collectors to finish..." where N is
three times L<"--run-time">. In both cases, after waiting, the tool kills
all of its subprocesses.
