How to execute command with args after the test finishes

[CyberMew]

So I'm waiting for my mongo db to startup at dbip:dbport, and once done I need it to run a command to start my server. I was thinking of something like ./wtfc.sh dbip:port runmyserverscript argstomyscripthere Is this possible with this script or am I mistaken?

@CyberMew well, I'd run it like this:

./wtfc.sh -T 0 nc -z <dbip> <dbport>
<runmyserverscript> <argstomyscripthere>

So it should wait for the your mongo to be up first (without timeout), once it's up, it'll run whatever you need.

TestingOnMyMacTerminal:test CyberMew$ ./wtfc.sh -T 0 nc -z localhost 27017 echo "aa"
wtfc.sh: waiting without a timeout for nc -z localhost 27017 echo aa

Starting up an instance of mongodb..

wtfc.sh: nc -z localhost 27017 echo aa finished with expected status 0 after 10 seconds

I got the above output following your instructions, but echo wasn't executed.

the problem is, that it are the 2 separate commands, the 1.st one is the ./wtfc... and the echo "aa" is the 2.nd only only. So you should not try to run them together (as one command)

Ah I see.. so there is no way for this to wait for a service to be ready and then get it do something?

@CyberMew unless you run the 1.st command in the background, it's an implicit way of running things in the shell => in sequence

Closing, as solution seems to be clarified. Feel free to reopen if more discussion is needed.
