Question Script to Start a Job after finding the Old job completed
Hi Experts,

I need a script advice to schedule 12 jobs ( SAS Codes execute back ground ).

Algorithem:

1. Script checks first job.
2. Finds first job is done; invoke second job.
3. finds second job is done; invoke third job.
..

Request you to please assist.

Simple thing would be,

1. At the start of the process, check whether a lock file is there, else create the lock file. Do the process A. At the end delete the lock file.

2. Do the same for process B, check whether a lock file exist, if it is there, dont start process B, else start and do as similar as step 1.

Code:
man wait

Code:
DESCRIPTION
      If no argument is specified, wait waits until all processes (started
      with &) of the current shell have completed, and reports on abnormal
      terminations.  If a numeric argument pid is given and is the process

could help you I think.
