Hi, I'd like some advice how to write simple script waiting for PID to exit with any status (0 or 1) and run another command. Any ideas? THX

$ help wait
wait: wait [n]
Wait for the specified process and report its termination status. If
N is not given, all currently active child processes are waited for,
and the return code is zero. N may be a process ID or a job
specification; if a job spec is given, all processes in the job's
pipeline are waited for.
