Hello Chad.
You can find your way around the ez printing just as easily as I.
Right now the status system monitors the safe startup of the
shell that does the printing. What is needed is a shell script
that correctly aborts the fork of the shell if the script fails.
But I believe that is impossible.
You're welcome to try and develop such a thing.
Or you're welcome to develop another program that could be exec'ed
instead of a shell script parse a command script, and execute the
things and report status.
I've looked at this all before, and have had no success in thinking through
a fix. IF you see something I don't, let me know.
