Query on a shell script logic
Hello people,
I am new to shell scripting and hoping to get a quick answer to my query. I am writing a simple script which needs to call an executale which generates an output file. Once the output file is generated I have to do a couple of more task with that file. The executable ideally takes 2 to 3 minutes to finish execution. My question is - Should I call the executable & once done look for the output file to do the next steps. Or - Should I run the executable as a backgound process using "&" and then have a loop which will keep checking whether the output file is generated. Is there any drawbacks with following either of these approaches. Any inputs would be highly appreciated. Regards, Tipsy |
