If you own the other process (or you're root) you can use signal 0 to
verify that it's still alive:
me% sleep 60 &
[1] 10175
me% kill -0 10175 [$? = 0]
me% kill -0 10176
kill: kill 10176 failed: no such process [$? = 1 or 2]
Try this:
pid=5543 # or $1 or whatever
while kill -0 $pid 2> /dev/null; do
sleep 60
done
/path/to/newjob.sh
