performing cleanup when a job finishes

The title sounds like an easy problem (maybe it is), however, the catch is that when a job 'A' is called inside a wrapper, the execution does not wait for 'A' to finish, but it goes on to the next line (right after kicking off 'A').

My question is, how will you keep the execution waiting for that job to complete, so that I can perform some cleanup and/or archiving of files after 'A' completes.

*Note: Something that might help.... When 'A' is kicked off, it begins writing some lines of data to a file called success.txt. When 'A' completes, it stops writing to success.txt.

Thanks,

CB
