wait 和 sleep 有什么区别?
【问题讨论】:
wait 等待进程完成; sleep 休眠一定秒数。
【讨论】:
wait 60 等待作业 60 完成; sleep 60 休眠 60 秒。
wait 是 BASH 的内置命令。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。它是一个延迟指定时间的实用程序。
sleep 命令可以支持不同时间单位的等待。 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.
【讨论】:
sleep 只是将 shell 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
【讨论】:
wait %1 %2 或 wait 27408 27409 或只是 wait。在这种情况下,您尝试等待 PID 1 (init) 和 PID 2(我的 Linux 上的 [migration/0]),但您会收到错误消息,例如:-bash: wait: pid 1 is not a child of this shell 并返回退出代码 127。
