Also, check out the book "The Practice of System and Network Administration" by Tom Limoncelli and Christine Hogan. It is a fantastic book on the subject, and it has a section on "What is system administration" which answers the exact question you asked better than I ever could.

condor_wait
condor_wait(1) General Commands Manual condor_wait(1)
Name
condor_wait Wait - for jobs to finish
Synopsis
condor_wait [-help -version]
condor_wait[-debug] [-wait seconds] [-num number-of-jobs] log-file[job ID]
Description
condor_waitwatches a user log file (created with the logcommand within a submit description file) and returns when one or more jobs from
the log have completed or aborted.
Because condor_waitexpects to find at least one job submitted event in the log file, at least one job must have been successfully submitted
with condor_submitbefore condor_waitis executed.
condor_waitwill wait forever for jobs to finish, unless a shorter wait time is specified.
Options
-help
Display usage information
-version
Display version information
-debug
Show extra debugging information.
-wait seconds
Wait no more than the integer number of seconds. The default is unlimited time.
-num number-of-jobs
Wait for the integer number-of-jobsjobs to end. The default is all jobs in the log file.
log file
The name of the log file to watch for information about the job.
job ID
A specific job or set of jobs to watch. If the job IDis only the job ClassAd attribute ClusterId , then condor_wait waits for all jobs
with the given ClusterId . If the job IDis a pair of the job ClassAd attributes, given by ClusterId . ProcId , then condor_wait waits
for the specific job with this job ID. If this option is not specified, all jobs that exist in the log file when condor_wait is invoked
will be watched.
General Remarks
condor_waitis an inexpensive way to test or wait for the completion of a job or a whole cluster, if you are trying to get a process outside
of Condor to synchronize with a job or set of jobs.
It can also be used to wait for the completion of a limited subset of jobs, via the -numoption.
Examples
condor_wait logfile
This command waits for all jobs that exist in logfile to complete.
condor_wait logfile 40
This command waits for all jobs that exist in logfile with a job ClassAd attribute ClusterId of 40 to complete.
condor_wait -num 2 logfile
This command waits for any two jobs that exist in logfile to complete.
condor_wait logfile 40.1
This command waits for job 40.1 that exists in logfile to complete.
condor_wait -wait 3600 logfile 40.1
This waits for job 40.1 to complete by watching logfile , but it will not wait more than one hour (3600 seconds).
Exit Status
condor_waitexits with 0 if and only if the specified job or jobs have completed or aborted. condor_waitreturns 1 if unrecoverable errors
occur, such as a missing log file, if the job does not exist in the log file, or the user-specified waiting time has expired.
