wait是BASH内置命令。来自man bash
:
wait [n ...]
Wait for each specified process and return its termination sta-
tus. Each n may be a process ID or a job specification; if a
job spec is given, all processes in that job's pipeline are
waited for. If n is not given, all currently active child pro-
cesses are waited for, and the return status is zero. If n
specifies a non-existent process or job, the return status is
127. Otherwise, the return status is the exit status of the
last process or job waited for.
sleep不是shell内置命令。它是一个会延迟指定时间的实用程序。
该sleep
命令可能支持以各种时间单位等待。GNU coreutils 8.4 man sleep
说:
SYNOPSIS
sleep NUMBER[SUFFIX]...
DESCRIPTION
Pause for NUMBER seconds. SUFFIX may be ‘s’ for seconds (the default),
‘m’ for minutes, ‘h’ for hours or ‘d’ for days. Unlike most implemen-
tations that require NUMBER be an integer, here NUMBER may be an arbi-
trary floating point number. Given two or more arguments, pause for
the amount of time specified by the sum of their values.
sleep
只是将外壳延迟给定的秒数。
wait
使shell等待给定的作业。例如:
workhard &
[1] 27408
workharder &
[2] 27409
wait %1 %2
延迟shell,直到两个子进程都完成
wait %1 %2
或者没有其他后台进程,wait 27408 27409
或者只是简单地wait
说。在这种情况下,您尝试等待PID 1(初始化)和PID 2(在我的Linux上为[migration / 0]),但是您将收到错误消息,例如:-bash: wait: pid 1 is not a child of this shell
并返回退出代码127
。
wait 60
等待作业60完成
