WAIT(I)                                                                WAIT(I)

NAME
       wait - await completion of process

SYNOPSIS
       wait

DESCRIPTION
       Wait until all processes started with & have completed, and report on
       abnormal terminations.

       Because wait(II) must be executed in the parent process, the Shell
       itself executes wait, without creating a new process.

SEE ALSO
       sh(I)

BUGS
       After executing wait you are committed to waiting until termination,
       because interrupts and quits are ignored by all processes concerned.
       The only out, if the process does not terminate, is to kill it from
       another terminal or to hang up.
