The `wait` program

+ +

+wait waits for a set of children, then executes a program. +

+ +

Interface

+ +

+ In an execlineb script: +

+ +

+     wait [ -r ] { [ pids... ] } prog...
+

+ +

wait reads a list of pids in a +(possibly empty) block, +and unquotes it.
wait waits for every child whose pid is +listed in pids.... If pids... is an +empty list, it waits for every child process it has.
wait then execs into prog....

+ +

Options

+ +

-r : reap mode. Do not pause until a child has +exited; only reap all pending zombies. The read block must be empty +for that option to be effective.

+ + + -- cgit v1.3.1
