-Usage:
-    $WAITFORIT_cmdname host:port [-s] [-t timeout] [-- command args]
-    -h HOST | --host=HOST       Host or IP under test
-    -p PORT | --port=PORT       TCP port under test
-                                Alternatively, you specify the host and port as host:port
-    -s | --strict               Only execute subcommand if the test succeeds
-    -q | --quiet                Don't output any status messages
-    -t TIMEOUT | --timeout=TIMEOUT
-                                Timeout in seconds, zero for no timeout
-    -- COMMAND ARGS             Execute command with args after the test finishes
