commit 4a98389e942c14a908d219a77b8502b1371df9d4 Author: Andrew Price Date: Fri Mar 28 01:42:47 2014 +0000 Check program exit code properly The return value of posix_spawnp() was being checked but the exit status of the child process was being ignored. This adds checks and error reporting based on the status that waitpid returns.
