Description

The JS CLI test suite that now runs with make check (post 1.2.x master only) starts CouchDB using make dev && utils/run -b and stops it with utils/run -d.

One issue with this is that the CouchDB process might terminate in the background. The shell trap command allows the test suite to act on that accordingly, otherwise the test suite would just freeze.
