Bash Version: 5.1 Patch Level: 16 Release Status: release Description: `wait -n` sometimes returns with status code 127 even though there are unwaited-for children. Repeat-By: The following script does finish after a while: waitjobs() { local status=0 while true; do local code=0; wait -n || code=$? ((code == 127)) && break ((!code)) || status=$code done return $status } # Eventually finishes: while true; do ( true & false & waitjobs ) && break; done
