Wait Process in Shell Scripting.
Hello,
I have a script that needs to wait till the previous process is done within the same script.But my script doesnt wait till that it is done.Can anyone suggest how I can stop my process till the previous task is done.
I tried 'wait' but I dont have a static process id so is there anyother better way?
pmcmd startworkflow test
wait
echo "Workflow complete"
pmcmd is a command to execute Informatica jobs in Unix.My process needs to wait till the workflow is complete.
Thanks,
Sud.

memory_pressure
MEMORY_PRESSURE(1) BSD General Commands Manual MEMORY_PRESSURE(1)
NAME
memory_pressure -- Tool to apply real or simulate memory pressure on the system.
SYNOPSIS
memory_pressure [-l level] | [-p percent_free] | [-S -l level]
OPTIONS
-l <level> Apply real or simulate memory pressure (if specified alongside simulate argument) on the system till low memory notifications cor-
responding to <level> are generated. Supported values are "warn" and "critical".
-p <percent_free> Allocate memory till the available memory in the system is <percent_free> of total memory. If the percentage of available
memory to total memory on the system drops, the tool will free memory till either the desired percentage is achieved or it runs out of memory
to free.
-S Simulate memory pressure on the system by placing it artificially for <sleep_seconds> duration at the "warn" or "critical" level.
-s <sleep_seconds> Duration to wait before allocating or freeing memory if applying real pressure. In case of simulating memory pressure,
this is the duration the system will be maintained at an artifical memory level.
DESCRIPTION
A tool to apply real or simulate memory pressure on the system
