Lightbulb Find out if a script has ended or still running

I have a script which will run for sometime, i want to monitor it's progress by sending out a mail by runing a infinite loop from command line

for eg. this is the script
Code:
$cat script1.sh

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
i=0
while [ $i -lt 20 ]
do
  sleep 2
  echo $i hi
  i=`expr $i + 1`
done > testprog.out

###################################

this is how the monitoring prog will run from command line
Code:
while 1
do
 
  if [ **script1 has finished ]
  then
    mailx -s "Script Finished" < echo " "
    exit 0
  else
    mailx -s "test out" abc@def.com < testprog.out
  fi
done

###################################
However, I am not able to figure out how to do the tasks marked as **
i.e how to find out script1 is still runing or has finished ?

irsend [options] DIRECTIVE REMOTE CODE [CODE...] DESCRIPTION
Asks the lircd daemon to send one or more CIR (Consumer Infra-Red) commands. This is intended for remote control of electronic devices such as TV boxes, HiFi sets, etc. DIRECTIVE can be: SEND_ONCE - send CODE [CODE ...] once SEND_START - start repeating CODE SEND_STOP - stop repeating CODE LIST - list configured remote items SET_TRANSMITTERS - set transmitters NUM [NUM ...] SIMULATE - simulate IR event REMOTE is the name of a remote, as described in the lircd configuration file. CODE is the name of a remote control key of REMOTE, as it appears in the lircd configuration file. NUM is the transmitter number of the hardware device. For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty: LIST "" "" - list all configured remote names LIST REMOTE "" - list all codes of REMOTE LIST REMOTE CODE - list only CODE of REMOTE The SIMULATE command only works if it has been explicitly enabled in lircd. -h --help display usage summary -v --version display version -d --device use given lircd socket [/var/run/lirc/lircd] -a --address=host[:port] connect to lircd at this address -# --count=n send command n times EXAMPLES
