So, will (1) the status command get executed, you receive an answer and
the connection is lost after this, or will (2) the connection close
immediately?

On 1:
Well, it works a designed.
A connection is only used for one task/job.

On Client Initiated Connection the FD opens up a connection to the
Director. When the Director uses this connection, either by running a
job or running a status command, the FD opens up another connection, so
the Director has a spare one available.
The connection used by the Director will be closed after the task/job.

Yes, you should set Heartbeat Interval like described in the documentation:
