Subject: Add error message when child exits whit error
X-Git-Url: https://jasonwoof.com/gitweb/?p=st.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=ec3268961d1dc4072f6caa6f97db5436da2ff411;ds=sidebyside

Add error message when child exits whit error

Master proccess was not showing any error message when the child
died with an error, and it was very confusing for the user (for
example with incorrect -e command).
