If you are waiting for a specific child temrimatingin see 'waitpid(); (or wait4() - "man wait4") -- that safes you the while() loop. It allows you to listen for just the child you want. If you just want to -know- if a child dies but simply allow your program to continue then install a signal handler on SIGCHLD. The best book I personally found is to get is "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" by Richard Stevens.
