Assuming both A and B are user processes (vs kernel process), as far as I know (I could be wrong), there is no way for A to catch exit status code of B. Exit status is returned to parent process only. In this scenario, the parent of daemon B is init. That means only the sceduler init would know the exit status of B.
Similar principle applies to the second question about ending time of daemon B. However, most of daemon logs its termination to syslog file via syslog daemon. That is where A might check to find out the ending time of B.

Directories(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual Directories(4)
NAME
Directories - Contains queued requests for file transfers and command executions on remote systems
SYNOPSIS
/usr/spool/uucp/SystemName
DESCRIPTION
The /usr/spool/uucp/SystemName directories are the uucp program spooling directories on the local system. The uucp program creates a Sys-
temName directory for each system listed in the /usr/adm/uucp/Systems file, including the local system.
Each SystemName directory contains queued requests issued by local users for file transfers to remote systems and for command executions on
remote systems.
The uucp program uses several types of administrative files to transfer data between systems. These files are stored in the SystemName
directories. They are: Contain directions for the uucico daemon concerning file transfers. Contain data to be sent to remote systems by
the uucico daemon. Contain instructions for running commands on remote systems. Contain data files after their transfer to the remote
system until the uucp program can deliver them to their final destinations (usually the /usr/spool/uucppublic directory).
