Wait for all processes with a certain name to finish (in bash)
问题 I would like to wait in linux (Ubuntu 11.10) for a load of processes to finish. Each of these processes has a different pid but the same name. Is it possible to do this? EDIT: Perhaps I should specify that I don't necessarily know what the pid are, just the process name. EDIT: Thanks for the answers; Kevin's seems to do what I want. However, it doesn't work in the specific application I have, so I've posted a more detailed follow-up question here. 回答1: wait $(pgrep programName) Ought to do it
