NAME
     wait  await completion of process

SYNOPSIS
     wait

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

     Because sys wait 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 ter-
     mination,	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.
