Currently master process does not check exist status for any kid process 
and from what I know it can not get exit status down N levels.
But it can get exit status of processes forked from master process, the 
coordinator and workers.
This is should be enough. Why do we need to get exit status for 
sub-childs? If a worker process exited normally means that the 
sub-childs exited normally or without huge problems.
Do you worry for still-running sub-childs after a worker process exited? 
Is it possible?
