Feb 12, 2017 at 13:39	comment	added	iruvar		@oletange, your edit should really have taken the form of a separate answer

Feb 12, 2017 at 9:40	comment	added	Alexander Mills		Yeah essentially controlled by the user
Feb 12, 2017 at 9:39	comment	added	hschou		Looping? Do you have a fixed list of commands or is that controlled by the user? I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do but maybe `PIPESTATUS` is something you should check out. This `seq 10 \| gzip -c > seq.gz ; echo ${PIPESTATUS[@]}` returns `0 0` (exit code from first and last command).
Feb 12, 2017 at 9:25	comment	added	Alexander Mills		One way to generify it might be to use a looping construct?
Feb 12, 2017 at 9:23	comment	added	Alexander Mills		I updated the original question to reflect that I am looking for a generic solution, thanks
Feb 12, 2017 at 9:22	comment	added	Alexander Mills		ok thanks, is there a way to generify this? I don't just have 3 sub processes, I have Z sub processes.
