Print the exit status when each process terminates.

DIAGNOSTICS

The pwait utility returns 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

Invalid pids elicit a warning message but are otherwise ignored.

pwait is not a substitute for the wait(1) builtin as it will not clean up any zombies or state in the parent process.
