What about a non-blocking waitFor mechanism such as

void onTerminate(IntConsumer consumer) or
CompletionStage<Integer> onTerminate();

Would be useful for spawning many small processes.


Also a waitFor method taking a timeout parameter. So you, for example, can
wait for the subprocess to exit within 10 seconds. And if not kill it.
