Taking my scripting one step farther, I want to run a number of commands one after the other, but the system should wait between commands. How do I do this? Do I use the /wait command, or is it a function wait()?
And I would wrap that all up into a script (see my previous thread on running a command as a script.
So /wait or wait(); ?
And also, does it make a difference what system the script is run on? My webhost uses proper CentOS linux, but when I run the same on my desktop (or the tidy part of the script) it's a cygwin port on Windows XP.

In the below artificially simplified script, I want to wait till after a, b, and c have been printed, before printing "finished."
If you just want to wait on a single background process, you can use $! (pid of the last background process). But this doesn't work if there's more than one... (1 Reply)

XFLIP(6) Games Manual XFLIP(6)NAME
xflip, meltdown - astonish your friends with interesting X effects
SYNOPSIS
xflip [-planes] [-vert] [-oblic] [-fast | -random] [-times number] [-display displayname]
meltdown [-planes] [-display displayname] [-delay x] [-wait n | -wait 0]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the xflip, and meltdown commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
(but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.
The programs play with the X display, producing some interesting effects. One traditional use of these commands is to have them run and
affect someone else's X display, as a practical joke.
OPTIONS -display displayname
The X display to operate on.
-planes
Operate on a singleplane at a time.
-vert Flip the screen vertically.
-oblic Flip the screen vertically and horizontally at the same time.
-random
Flip small random peices of the screen instead of the while display.
-times number
Specifies the number of peices of the screen to flip when -random is used. Default is 300.
-delay x
Meltdown may run too fast on fast computers to be fully appreciated; this can be used to slow it down. If specified, every x times
the display is updated, a 1 microsecond delay will be inserted. The default is no delay at all. Reasonable values for x are in the
20 to 200 range.
-wait n
Makes meltdown wait for n seconds after the screen is totally black. If you pass 0 to -wait, it will wait until you press a key or
mouse button.
