关于bash:等待和睡眠之间的区别

    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。它是一种延迟一定时间的实用程序。

sleep命令可以支持以不同的时间单位等待。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shell延迟给定的秒数。

wait使shell等待给定的子进程。例如。:

1
2
3
4
5
workhard &
[1] 27408
workharder &
[2] 27409
wait %1 %2

延迟shell,直到两个子进程都完成


猛击

等待命令停止脚本执行,直到后台运行的所有作业都已终止或者直到指定为选项的作业编号或进程ID终止

1
2
wait%1 or wait $PID
wait ${!}

等待${!}表示"等待最后一个后台进程完成"($!是最后一个后台进程的PID)

睡眠

添加指定时间段的延迟。
