How to capture back ground process's success 1

[srishan]

If we wrap pl/sql programs in UNIX one after another, want them to run in back ground. Want to check for the status of one program for successful completion before kicking the next pl/sql program. How can we do this in UNIX?

How to check background process's exit condition before we start an new process?

Your infor is appreciated.

thx,

I would write a script that checks &quot;ps -ef | grep <process name> and write an if statement that states if it is exists, sleep for 10 seconds and retry.

Hi

The command

echo $?

gives you the exit code of the previous commnd. So perhaps you could put something like the echo command inside an IF loop.

Kind Regards
