When you execute the java code in the script you can get the process ID of the executing java process. You then set up a while (or similar) conditional statement to look at the process table and see when the process terminates.

There are other ways to do this. The one above is the first idea off the top of my head (using shell scripts). It would be much easier to do this using PERL or PHP or PYTHON, BTW.

You can also look at the exec command and variants and the shell command itself. There are many, many ways to do what you are wanting to do.

NAME
jsymphonic - File manager for Sony's MP3 players SYNOPSIS
jsymphonic DESCRIPTION
jsymphonic manages files stored on a Sony MP3 player plugged onto the computer. Important note: The MP3 player should be mounted first ! You might want to use pmount(1) to mount it without needing root privileges. The first time it is run, jsymphonic will ask you in which directory the MP3 player is mounted. This directory should not change, or you will need to configure it again. If jsymphonic complains that it cannot find the OMGAUDIO folder, it means that either the music player is not mounted, either the path of the player has not been set yet. If that is the case, set it using the JSymphonic/Properties menu item. JAVA-WRAPPERS NOTE This program is a shell script wrapper based on java-wrappers(7). You therefore benefit from several features; please see the java-wrap- pers(7) manual page for more information about them. SEE ALSO
pmount(1) and java-wrappers(7) AUTHOR
