Shell Programming and Scripting

thanks all for ur replies ..
Am using csh here since that is my only option
i found out hw to take the PID in csh , now can anyone help me to take the success or failure status of the last script before running the next one ?
cos if i use $status its returning me the status of the PID command tat i used .
here is my sample code :
Code :

Code:

#!/bin/csh -f

./1.sh &
set PID=`ps | grep 1.sh | awk '{print $1}'`
set PD = `echo $PID`
while (  $PID == $PD )
sleep 10
set PD = `ps | grep 1.sh | awk '{print $1}'`
end

exit(0)

Now i want to check the success or failure status of 1.sh before invoking 2.sh inside the above script .
