running sub-scripts

[bhowani]

Hi

I have a scriptA that runs a series of other scripts. The other scripts are generated, so I don't know how many there are or how long they may run for. ScriptA goes through a for loop submitting each script in the background (&), so that scripts may run simultaneously. The problem is I don't know when the other scripts have ended.

Even though scriptA may be done, the other scripts may still be running in the background. Any ideas on how I may find out when the entire process is completed?

Thanks

save [$!] all all the background jobid-s [or pid-s] as there're spawned and 'wait' on all of them OUTSIDE the loop.

man ksh
man wait vlad
