For debugging?  Otherwise it's better to send meaningful error messages
along with the failure signals that the VPN daemon sends to NM.

 I'm thinking I need to use a GIOChannel to capture the output this way. 
 Can anyone clarify?
 
 example:
 
 code
 GFILE *output = g_fopen(//dev//stdout, r);
 GIOChannel *connOutput = NULL;
 gchar * stdout_buffer;
 connOutput = g_io_channel_unix_new(output);
 
 while (g_io_channel_read_line(connOutput, stdout_buffer, NULL, NULL, 
 error) != (G_IO_STATUS_EOF || G_IO_STATUS_ERROR))
 {
 nm_status_update(%s, stdout_buffer); //pseudo function for now
 if (stdout_buffer == \n\n)
 {
   g_io_channel_close(connOutput);
   g_fclose(output);
   g_free(stdout_buffer);
   return 0:
   }
 }
 .
 /code
 
 
 Does that make any sense or am I going about this the wrong way?

I think what you actually want to do is to spawn your process and
specify your own file descriptors for stdout and stderr.  See
supplicant_exec() in src/nm-device-802-11-wireless.c of the
NETWORKMANAGER_0_6_0_RELEASE branch.
