Bash – Have Bash script wait for status message before continuing

You can do this by using a temporary directory.

# Create a temporary directory to store the statuses
dir=$(mktemp -d)

# Execute the backgrouded code. Create a file that contains the exit status.
# The filename is the PID of this group's subshell.
for i in 1 2; do
    { ssh mysql "/root/test$i.sh" ; echo "$?" > "$dir/$BASHPID" ; } &
done

# Wait for all jobs to complete
wait

# Get return information for each pid
for file in "$dir"/*; do
    printf 'PID %d returned %d\n' "${file##*/}" "$(<"$file")"
done

# Remove the temporary directory
rm -r "$dir"

You don't need grep here at all, awk can do the pattern match on the port number.

awk can also keep track of whether the port was found or not and exit with an appropriate exit code.

For example:

$ port=23
$ awk  '$2 ~ /^'"$port"'\// {print $1 ; found=1} END {exit !found}' /etc/services 
telnet
$ echo $?
0

$ port=99999
$ awk  '$2 ~ /^'"$port"'\// {print $1 ; found=1} END {exit !found}' /etc/services 
$ echo $?
1

The exit !found works because awk variables default to zero (or true) if they haven't previously been defined - exit !0 is exit 1. So if we set found=1 when we match then exit !found in the END block is exit 0.

Here's how to use that awk script with your if/then/else.

#!/bin/bash

awk  '$2 ~ /^'"$1"'\// {print $1 ; found=1} END {exit !found}' /etc/services 
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then 
    echo "Service(s) is(are) found correctly!"
else
    echo "There is(are) no such service(s)!"
fi

You can also do it like this:

if awk  '$2 ~ /^'"$1"'\// {print $1;found=1} END{exit !found}' /etc/services ; then 
    echo "Service(s) is(are) found correctly!"
else
    echo "There is(are) no such service(s)!"
fi

Or even like this:

awk  '$2 ~ /^'"$1"'\// {print $1 ; found=1} END {exit !found}' /etc/services \
  && echo "Service(s) is(are) found correctly!" \
  || echo "There is(are) no such service(s)!"
