exit status of Invoking two or more scripts in background
I have a sript which is going to trigger other 3 scripts in background simultaneously
for eg:
Main Script:(main.sh)
-----------
sh a.sh &
sh b.sh &
sh c.sh &
How to catch the exit status and store it in a variable for all those three scripts in main script. Is there any other way of triggering the scripts simulataneously in background.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
