NAME

       pwait — wait for processes to terminate

SYNOPSIS

       pwait [-v] [-c] pid ...

DESCRIPTION

       pwait waits until each of the given processes has terminated.

       The options are as follows:

       -v      Print the exit status when each process terminates.

       -c      Return 111 if any process exited non-successfully.

EXIT STATUS

       The pwait utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

       Invalid pids elicit a warning message but are otherwise ignored.

ERRORS

       Check these prerequisites if you see this error:

       pwait requires special permissions to run, either root or the Linux CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.

       pwait only works on Linux kernels with the kernel options
