humility hiffy can be used to shoot yourself in the foot by sending an IPC to a task that hasn't been started #576
Description
discovered by @jordanhendricks. if you use humility hiffy to send an IPC to a task that is not configured to start automatically and has not been started explicitly, it just hangs. this puts the hiffy task in a state where it seems to be stuck forever unless restarted. whoops.
this seems not great. it would be nice if humility could check that the task you want to talk to is running and warn you if you're about to shoot yourself in the foot. implementing that might be a little annoying but it seems plausible...
