The watcher program would look to see if the three output files have been created. It would then combine the three files into one.

I would rather suggest to do it via a semaphore and i suggest the thread starter to read up on the concept.

Basically the first script to be started will open the semaphore and do the starting setup and the last one to stop will do the end processing and close the semaphore.

I hope this helps.
