I need to parallelize some sql operations and Im running them from unix scripts.

I want to spawn off a few in the background from a master script, then have the master script 'wait' for them to finish. Ive done this in Java and with dbms_alert, but I cant dig up the syntax to do this with korn shell on solaris.

Also, if I want to wait for a specific PID, how do I get the PID of the thread I want to wait for?

so I have

nohup run_sql &

wait(on previous nohup)

then to use notify, I just use 'notify()' inside the script right?
