os-wait

Arguments: &optional nowait pid

This function has been replaced with reap-os-subprocess, which has the same functionality. reap-os-subprocess uses keyword arguments and so gives more control over behavior. Except for the changed argument list, and the fact that reap-os-subprocess has a wait keyword argument rather than a nowait argument (and so :wait t means what a nil value of nowait meant), the description of this function and reap-os-subprocess are the same.

See os-interface.htm for information on running shell programs.
