WAIT(I) 4/9/73 WAIT(I)
NAME
wait - await completion of process
SYNOPSIS
wait
DESCRIPTION
Wait until all processes started with & have completed, and
report on abnormal terminations.
Because sys wait must be executed in the parent process, the
Shell itself executes wait, without creating a new process.
SEE ALSO
sh (I)
BUGS
After executing wait you are committed to waiting until
termination, because interrupts and quits are ignored by all
processes concerned. The only out, if the process does not
terminate, is to kill it from another terminal or to hang
up.
