in thread How to read from shell command and terminate it afterwards?

I can go ahead and use threads to deal with the STDOUT and STDERR of the child. Not more complicated than this.

    I don't see how to do a working thread solution. You'd be left with threads blocked reading data you don't even want while the program proceeds on.

    So again, I don't know of an alternative solution against which to compare the complexity of mine.
