I want the application to receive the stdout of another command

How coud I accomplish this?
Then you'll want std.process[1]. This provides functions for
"piping" output[2]. As for detecting output, that can only be
verified once the other process has finished; to handle that it
should be reasonable to execute[3] and check the complete output.
