Yes, some comments about the program,

to avoid using getpty(), and also avoid detecting if the corresponding 
/dev/pts is already prepared, the solution that I took for Lnet startpar
were pipes,
each node has a pair, one for stdout and other for stderr.
When the process is not interactive, those pipes are used as intermediate 
buffers.
The child process writes to the pipes, and when the process finishes, the 
pipes are read and (optionally) printed on the screen.
