Command: wait

NEST HelpDesk Command Index NEST Quick Reference
Name:
wait - Wait for any child process to terminate
Synopsis:
NoHangFlag wait -> Status NormalExitFlag PIDout
-> 0
Examples:
false wait %wait for the next child to terminate
Description:
Wait is the same as "waitPID", but it waits for any
child process.

Alternatives: Function wait_b (undocumented) -> behaviour and
synopsis are the same, except that no warnings or error
messages are thrown.
Parameters:
In : NoHangFlag(boolean): -see waitPID-
Out: Status(integer)
NormalExitFlag(boolean)
PIDout(integer): -see waitPID-
Bugs:
Remarks:
This is not a SLI-interface to the system's "wait()"-function,
but a thin wrapper to waitPID. The behaviour is exactly the
same, however.
