I’ve tried to RTFM for the answer to this question, but this may be a case
of where I don’t know enough to know where to look.
I need to find a good way to emulate the behavior of the build file script’s
waitfor command in a ksh script.
This is what I am using now:
while [[ ! -e /dev/io-net/en0 ]]; do
echo ‘Waiting…’
sleep 1
done
This gets awfully slow once you string a few of these together. Is there a
better way?

You could use the waitfor utility, /bin/waitfor.

You could use the waitfor utility, /bin/waitfor.-David
or ‘on -w’

Suprisingly(or not?) /bin/waitfor is actually just a link to on

Indeed I could! That’s actually what I tried first but I neglected to
include waitfor in my build file. I think my brain must already be on
Thanksgiving vacation.
