I am trying to get a fortran program to execute another program
and wait for the completion of the second program before resuming
execution of the first.
On a MIPS M120/5 (SYSV) system, I have been able to submit the
second job and have it execute using the code :
open(unit=idsk3,file=execfl,status='old',access='append',
1 disp='submit')
close(unit=idsk3)
This seems to work just fine.
However, I have been unable to halt the calling program until
the submitted job finishes. I have tried
status = 0
retval = wait(status)
This fails to halt the calling program.
If anyone knows of a good way to do this in fortran (without
using file I/O and flags) I would appreciate it.
Please reply by e-mail as I don't read this newsgroup regularly.
