I'm currently writing a special make tool which is able to
use a given list of connected machines which can be used in
parallel. The tool forks processes which do an execve to 
change to a little program having the task to rsh the job to other
machines. Now I have the problem that the main tool has to
check if one of these processes (i.e. a C compiler run) fails.

A naive solution lets the 'rsh-submitting' process create a file
containing the return-status - a solution I do not like very
much.

Any advices gratefully accepting
