What I would like to know is how can I tell if the process completed on its own or was terminated. I've tried including RESULT and ERROR in the call, but they both return empty strings.

Good question. And this is a major shortcoming of SPAWN. I was always using SPAWN under Mac OS X and I found the only way to track if the session has finished is by looking at the tasks and threads from the Activity Monitor of the system. If you are using Windows, you may have to track it from the Task Manager of the system. SPAWN does not provide any verbose output even if your own program is written in this way.

Not sure if the following link from this group is somewhat helpful but you can give it a try.

Thanks to Nata, the composer of this library!
