Did you try 'man wait'? That would have pointed you to 'man bash', where as a bash builtin, wait is properly documented. Also, 'info bash' will tell you about bash builtins, or you can try 'help wait' for a short synopsis. > > (1) How do I wait for multiple children and wake up when the first one dies? wait > > (2) Examine the status code of the dead child and possibly spawn a new one? I don't know of any way in POSIX to do this, but it is not really specific to cygwin, so you might try asking a more appropriate mailing list. -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin bash maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
