[paramiko] background process status (success/failure)

[jd]

Hi everyone

I am using channel.exec_command to start a process on a remote node in the background. example "sleep 600 &"   (or some daemon like process)

How do I know that the process in the background has started sucessfully  and not  exited with the error ? chan.recv_exit_status is a blocking call. (which would not work, when the process is started succesfully).

Can I do some check on the channel?

Thanks in advance.
