After you kickoff your driver script, check the return value ($?) to see what the return code is. You could do this checking throughout your driver script, after each subsequent script (assuming you use a return value (or exit value in each script))and have the driver script return a SUCCESS/FAILURE. Doing so, you will be able to control the flow.


or

You can implement your script using signals. By using kill -0 you can determine if your script has completed by listening for it. You would then have to revert back to the first suggestion of using the "wait" command to submit the process in the background....this is probably too much hassle but it should always work

directfb-config

directfb-config(1)					      DirectFB User's Manual						directfb-config(1)

NAME

       directfb-config - script to get information about the installed version of directfb

SYNOPSIS

       directfb-config	 [--prefix[=DIR]]   [--exec-prefix[=DIR]]  [--version]	[--libs]  [--cflags]  [--input=<driver>[,<driver>]...]	 [--graph-
       ics=<driver>[,<driver>]...]  [--fonts=<impl>[,<impl>]...]  [--imageprovider=<impl>[,<impl>]...]	[--videoprovider=<impl>[,<impl>]...]

DESCRIPTION

       directfb-config is a tool that is used to configure to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link pro-
       grams that use directfb. It is also used internally to the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with directfb.

OPTIONS

       directfb-config accepts the following options:

       --version
	       Print the currently installed version of directfb on the standard output.

       --libs  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a directfb program.

       --cflags
	       Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a directfb program.

       --prefix[=DIR]
	       If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that directfb was built with when computing the output for the --cflags
	       and --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be  specified
	       before any --libs or --cflags options.

       --exec-prefix[=DIR]
	       If  specified,  use  PREFIX  instead of the installation exec prefix that directfb was built with when computing the output for the
	       --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.

       --input=<driver>[,<driver>]...
	       Print the linker flags necessary to statically link the listed input drivers into the object.

       --graphics=<driver>[,<driver>]...
	       Print the linker flags necessary to statically link the listed graphic drivers into the object.

       --fonts=<impl>[,<impl>]...
	       Print the linker flags necessary to statically link the listed font implementations into the object.

       --imageprovider=<impl>[,<impl>]...
	       Print the linker flags necessary to statically link the listed imageprovider implementations into the object.

       --videoprovider=<impl>[,<impl>]...
	       Print the linker flags necessary to statically link the listed videoprovider implementations into the object.
