Hi,

I'm starting to work on JEP 102, Process API Updates for JDK 9. Are there use cases for which this is insufficient? Please comment. What about a non-blocking waitFor mechanism such as

void onTerminate(IntConsumer consumer) or CompletionStage onTerminate();

Would be useful for spawning many small processes.

Also a waitFor method taking a timeout parameter. So you, for example, can wait for the subprocess to exit within 10 seconds. And if not kill it.
