    WAIT(I)                       4/9/73                      WAIT(I)

    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.
