Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting To force a script to wait for another. Post 302249784 by Jazmania on Wednesday 22nd of October 2008 05:38:59 AM

Couldn't you have the partion script touch some sort of .done file at the end of it's run,
then have a while loop to look for the dummy.done file in the Mdadm script and when it finds it to run its commands (but remembering to remove the .done so that the next run doesn't kick off by mistake)

Hope that makes sense...
