C-Shell Script Problem
I am trying to write a simple script to update clients that are probes with new software, but everytime I run it, it doesn't wait for the download it just runs through the list of clients without finishing the download. I tried to use wait on the pid and I could use sleep for some crazy amount of time and that works, but I would like it to be more intelligent and let it finish one and then move to the next. I am embarrassed to show my script because its probably not proper but need help.
I am running it from the command line as follows:
sh programname file1
# command line format:
#
# sh programname [FILE1]
#
# where FILE1 is an input file containing a single list of ip's (hosts)
#
PID="${$}" #Current process id to be used
date 2>&1
for i in `cat $1`
do
if ping $i 64 1 | grep -s "100%"
then
echo $i": not on the Network!" >> REDO_PROBE
else
( echo "login"; sleep 1; echo "password"; sleep 1; echo "http://xx.xx.xx.xx/probe_software.txt"; sleep 1 ) | telnet $i 24;
fi
done
any ideas on how I can script this so it waits until the first process on the probe finishes before it moves to the next? I was also thinking about using touch file to have it wait but I can't find anything to copy to do that or know how to program it. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

load_dat_font
load_dat_font(3alleg4) Allegro manual load_dat_font(3alleg4)
NAME
load_dat_font - Loads a FONT from an Allegro datafile.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
FONT *load_dat_font(const char *filename, RGB *pal, void *param)
DESCRIPTION
Loads a FONT from an Allegro datafile. You can set param parameter to point to an array that holds two strings that identify the font and
the palette in the datafile by name. The first string in this list is the name of the font. You can pass NULL here to just load the first
font found in the datafile. The second string can be used to specify the name of the palette associated with the font. This is only
returned if the pal parameter is not NULL. If you pass NULL for the name of the palette, the last palette found before the font was found
is returned. You can also pass NULL for param, which is treated as if you had passed NULL for both strings separately. In this case, the
function will simply load the first font it finds from the datafile and the palette that precedes it.
For example, suppose you have a datafile named `fonts.dat' with the following contents:
FONT FONT_1_DATA
FONT FONT_2_DATA
FONT FONT_3_DATA
PAL FONT_1_PALETTE
PAL FONT_2_PALETTE
Then the following code will load FONT_1_DATA as a FONT and return FONT_1_PALETTE as the palette:
FONT *f;
PALETTE pal;
char *names[] = { "FONT_1_DATA", "FONT_1_PALETTE" }
f = load_dat_font("fonts.dat", pal, names);
If instead you want to load the second font, FONT_2, from the datafile, you would use:
FONT *f;
PALETTE pal;
char *names[] = { "FONT_2_DATA", "FONT_2_PALETTE" }
f = load_dat_font("fonts.dat", pal, names);
If you want to load the third font, but not bother with a palette, use:
FONT *f;
char *names[] = { "FONT_3_DATA", NULL }
f = load_dat_font("fonts.dat", NULL, names);
RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the font or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it to
avoid memory leaks.
