condor_wait Wait - for jobs to finish
condor_wait [-help -version]
condor_wait[-debug] [-status] [-echo] [-wait seconds] [-num number-of-jobs] log-file[job ID]
condor_waitwatches a job event log file (created with the logcommand within a submit description file) and returns when one or more jobs from the log have completed or aborted.
Because condor_waitexpects to find at least one job submitted event in the log file, at least one job must have been successfully submitted with condor_submitbefore condor_waitis executed.
condor_waitwill wait forever for jobs to finish, unless a shorter wait time is specified.

If the job IDis a pair of the job ClassAd attributes, given by ClusterId . ProcId , then condor_wait waits for the specific job with this job ID. If this option is not specified, all jobs that exist in the log file when condor_wait is invoked will be watched.
condor_waitis an inexpensive way to test or wait for the completion of a job or a whole cluster, if you are trying to get a process outside of HTCondor to synchronize with a job or set of jobs.
It can also be used to wait for the completion of a limited subset of jobs, via the -numoption.
condor_wait logfile
