WAIT(1) WAIT(1)
NAME
wait - await completion of process
SYNOPSIS
wait
DESCRIPTION
Wait until all processes started with && have completed, and report on
abnormal terminations.
Because the wait(2) system call must be executed in the parent process,
the Shell itself executes wait, without creating a new process.
SEE ALSO
sh(1)
BUGS
Not all the processes of a 3- or more-stage pipeline are children of
the Shell, and thus can't be waited for.
