wait command - cat it wait for not-chile process?

Did not use 'wait' yet.
How I understand by now the wait works only for child processes, started background.

Is there any other way to watch completion of any, not related process (at least, a process, owned by the same user?)

I need to start a background process, witch will be waiting for completion of the parent script.

Thank you
Alex
