Subject: Where is documentation on bash "wait"?
Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2005 16:55:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5137116.1129395321861.JavaMail.SYSTEM@CCC-NOVA1> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <101220051545.21471.434D2FA800096FCD000053DF22007613940A050E040D0C079D0A@comcast.net>

I tried info and man and could not find any information on wait. I want to
(using bash)

(1) How do I wait for multiple children and wake up when the first one dies?

(2) Examine the status code of the dead child and possibly spawn a new one?

Where is the documentation on wait?

Thanks,
Siegfried
