I have a script than exec others scripts. For example script 1 exec script2 (script 1 father of script2)
script2 &
In script1 I want to control the finalization of script1. I do this with that sentences:
ps -ef | grep script2 | grep -v "grep"
I make a loop that is making 'ps' until 'ps' returns nothing.
It runs, but I want to know if there is any other way of makinf this. I think there must be other way easier and better of control de execution of one script executed in background from other father script.
