Message-ID: <3c88b8bfb5216d40c70392c084358983@coraid.com> (raw)

there's a version of rc on sources (/n/sources/contrib/quanstro/rc-wait.tbz)
that keeps careful track of waits so "wait $pid" should be dependable,
at least in the basic approach, i did minimal minimal testing of the details.
there is somewhat verbose information printed along these lines:

	; sleep & sleep & sleep & sleep
	waitqadd(772665)
	waitqadd(772666)
	waitqadd(772667)
	waitqadd(772668)
	waitfor 772668
	  w->pid 772668
	waitqrm(772668)
	Xreturn i=0; p 205256, i=1
	broken! wait 772665
	waitfor 772665
	  w->pid 772667
	  w->pid 772666
	  w->pid 772665
	waitqrm(772665)
	Xreturn i=0; p 205256, i=1
	broken! wait 772666
	waitfor 772666
	Xreturn i=0; p 205256, i=1
	broken! 

this output can be supressed by redefining the wdebug macro in exec.h.

the previous case of
	; sleep $longtime &
	; echo&echo&echo&
	; wait $apid

should illustrate the difference.
