Well, I'm still confused. I've never installed Oracle so I'm not sure what all is involved there. I'd assume that the installation script detaches from the parent and thus control is returned immediately as the installation continues to work asynchronously and you are having difficulty determining when the install is complete. If not, then it would seem that your control script would block nicely until the install is finished, and then you could continue on as desired.

If the install is running asynchronously, then you might be able to 'watch' it execute using pgrep or similar command blocking in your script until the process has exited. Of course this is problematic as there may not be any way of telling if the install was successful.

Maybe someone with some Oracle experience will chime in with some suggestions.

install-solaris(1M)                                                                                                            install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris  invokes  the  Solaris  Install  program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

           Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

           Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris  exists  only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
