pswait  - waiting for process(es) to end before doing things

=head1 SYNOPSIS
pswait  [options] [process ID|NAME ...]

=head1 USAGE
pswait  [options] [process ID|NAME ...]

Options:
       -h --help            brief help message
       -v --verbose         be verbose
       -e --exit            exit after first process end
       -s x  --sleep x      set sleep time to x second (default to 1)

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 8

=item B<-e, --exit>

When giving a list of process to watch, exit when the first process end, it is usefull to easily manage a pool of proces with a shell script.

=item B<-h. --help>

Print a brief help message and exits.

=item B<-s x, --sleep x>

set sleep time to x seconds between process checking, default to 1 second. On small machines (or overloaded machines) it could help to check process state only once every minutes instead, using for example -s 60

=item B<-v, --verbose>

Inform you on what happening ... which process ends, which process ID are watched for state (usefull when using process names on command line).

=back

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<pswait> will read the process table of the system
and wait for some process to end
