Obtaining status from a remote executed process

Question

I am invoking a remote process using libcURLs libssh2. The remote server is a Linux (CentOS) and the client is an Windows XP. Also am using Qt 4.6 and C++.The processes are some third party applications which will be invoked by libssh2

I am able to remotely execute a process using libssh2_channel_exec().

But how to obtain the status of the invoked process? Say for e.g like PROCESS_STARTED or PROCESS_COMPLETED or PROCESS_RUNNING or something like that.

Now libssh2_channel_exec() returns just 0 for success.

Is there any way I can obtain the status of such remote executed processes? Any pointers regarding this are welcome.

Could you create an invoker exective file? It calls the real remote process and output the remote process status. And now, you can call with libssh2_channel_open_ex to read exchanged data(remote process status) from remote server.

But then to obtain the status, I have to constantly poll the file over the network, right? – liaK Dec 27 '10 at 11:18
In my pinion, I'll write a C/S(comm. by SSH) to finish it. – erinus Dec 27 '10 at 11:24
