I have a similar process. The spawning process clears a control record, spawns the phantoms, and checks the control record at a fixed interval. Each spawned phantom reports to the control record when it is finished. When the spawning phantom has the results from all the spawned phantoms, it emails me a message and stops. No defunct processes.
