Procedural nature of shell scripts
Code:
#!/bin/bash #this is script1 sleep 30 And Code:
#!/bin/bash #this is script 2 /path/to/script1.sh echo im done Running script 2 will give a 30 second pause and then echo Im done to the terminal. What behavior exactly, is responsible for waiting for script one to complete before the echo line is interpreted? Can someone please explain this mechanism? Does the shell wait for an exit status of any given command unless it is executed with a & at the end to send to background? Thanks, I hope I am being clear. |
