I am not an expert, and the best way I know of evidencing the failure is
	ifdown wlan0 && ifconfig wlan0 down
	Kill any existing processes:  ps aux |grep wpa
	# wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -d

Is this the best way?

ifup --verbose and /var/log/wpa_action.log don't seem like alot of use for this.

Best,

Bill
