wait(1)                    DG/UX 4.30                     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
          csh(1), sh(1).
          wait(2) in the Programmer's Reference for the DG/UX System"

     BUGS
          Not all the processes of a pipeline with three or more
          stages are children of the shell; thus, they cannot be
          waited for.
