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,

Is job A called in the background? Post the line of code that kicks off job A.
