Waits for all children, returning an array of pid/status pairs (where status is a Process::Status object).
Example
fork { sleep 0.2; exit 2 } #=> 27432 fork { sleep 0.1; exit 1 } #=> 27433 fork { exit 0 } #=> 27434 p Process.waitall
produces:
[[30982, #<Process::Status: pid 30982 exit 0>], [30979, #<Process::Status: pid 30979 exit 1>], [30976, #<Process::Status: pid 30976 exit 2>]]
