You could redirect to disk files and also use a pipe to wait for exit.

I suppose you redirect I/O for individual queries by applying shell
redirections to the command?  So like this,

   uname -a > /tmp/cmd1 2> /tmp/cmd2 7> /tmp/exitpipe

... then read from /tmp/exitpipe, ignore empty result and read command
outputs from the disk files.
