Description
A few of things I've wasted time on whilst trying to get PyChrm working via OMERO.scripts. Maybe this should go into the docs at some point?
- Multiple script files: not possible (#10079). The script is copied into a temp directory so can't import stuff from the same directory
- Script timeouts: If a script runs for too long without contacting the server the session will timeout- use client.enableKeepAlive()
- Out of memory: If a script uses too much memory the OS may kill the process. OMERO reports the script as finishing successfully (Callback received: FINISHED).
- Disconnecting after starting a script: not supported (script seems to run for a few minutes then is killed).

- Script timeouts: we should likely enable that by default. My assumption would have been that processor.py would keep it alive
- Out of memory: does that not return a non-null pid? Odd. Definitely of bug quality.
- Disconnecting: also unexpected and should be a bug.
