PWAIT(1) | General Commands Manual | PWAIT(1) |
pwait
— wait for
processes to terminate
pwait |
[-isv ] [-t
timeout] pid ... |
The pwait
utility will wait until each of
the given processes has terminated.
The following option is available:
-i
-s
255
.-t
timeout-v
The pwait
utility returns 0 on success,
and >0 if an error occurs.
Invalid pids elicit a warning message but are otherwise ignored.
pwait
is not a substitute for the
wait(1) builtin as it will not
clean up any zombies or state in the parent process.
A pwait
command first appeared in SunOS
5.8.
