Page moved
editI moved the "wait" to this page "wait (command)". — Loadmaster 18:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Which has been subsequented renamed, so now there's Wait (this article), Wait (disambiguation) which redirects to this page, and Wait (command). — Loadmaster 22:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
- Leaving me wondering shouldn't it be wait (unix command)? After all, Windows doesn't have it, and like it or not most systems out there are Windows... Number774 (talk) 10:58, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
- The article treats of Unix, but with this title one could add the OpenOffice.org Basic wait command too. That's why I'm in favor of the renaming to wait (Unix), like some other commands. JackPotte (talk) 21:57, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
- There is precedence for using "(Unix)" as a disambiguation suffix in this context. But, it's lame! Many make a bid deal of saying that Linux is not Unix, so anything in Linux should not be labeled Unix. IMO, "(POSIX)" would be better for this article and all articles that currently use "(Unix)". But, how do we go about making a mass change like that? Stevebroshar (talk) 11:22, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

in computing?
edit"In computing, wait is "
that's an awfully general statement. Is this article about the shell command built in to certain shell's or trying to somehow be more general?

- IDK when it changed, but today it says "In Unix shells". Much better. ...But, Unix shell is kinda lame since Linux is not Unix. Maybe "In POSIX" would be better. Stevebroshar (talk) 11:24, 3 August 2025 (UTC)
