Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem in Bash

If you want something that always behaves differently, why not just concatenating something to whatever the output of the other script would be? I'm familiar with the halting problem, but considering the quick description inside this post I don't see which part of it would forbid this

If my_program.sh runs forever - how will you obtain its output?

I think that's the problem here.

You don't need to wait for it to terminate if you just print something and then invoke my_program.sh
