I launch a Monte Carlo simulation as a batch job from a bash script: exb BEAM_$acc_name $beamin 521icru2 long batch=PBS p=1&
I can still get the process id (I think) through the command: exb1_pid=$! I have to launch another simulation which will be given in input a file created by the previous one. Can I trust such process ID to wait until the simulation is completed so as I know when to launch the second simulation ? My doubt is that all the process control is handled by the batch system PBS. If I type "qstat" on a terminal line I get the batch running process ID which is not the same as $!. I do not know of any bash variable that contain the same information returned by qstat. Thank you for any suggestion.
