After a script starts, each command in that script runs until the script
ends. I noticed when doing something different with wget and wanting to
have wget do one command then wait until a download had completed that
without a read command somewhere in the script the next wget command
fires off as soon as the first one runs.

I want to automatically start a data backup script (to USB or network

Rather than having the system call my backup/ archive scripts, I have my
backup/ archive scripts call 'shutdown' when they're done.
I'm not the OP, but, wonderful idea! And, of course, I can pass a parameter
to my backup script--one case to shutdown after the backup, and one not to
shutdown!
