- Short: waits for tasks to finish
-
- WHAT IS IT ?
-
- The idea for this program came to me while talking to Walter
- Mildenberger, who said: "Self-detaching programs are stupid!"
- (Okay, those weren't his original words, but that's what he
- meant).
-
- We talked about the problem of waiting on such a program from the
- CLI. This is quite difficult because there is no possible way of
- finding out when the program finishes.
-
- This problem is solved now! WaitForTask scans Exec's task lists
- regularly and looks for a program name, which is specified when
- you run the program. WaitForTask will not return until this task
- exists!
-
- Using this command you can easily synchronise your scripts with
- self detaching programs.
