I do not know if this is the best way of doing this, but I just put in a sleep:

sleep 10
LINKPID=$(ps aux |grep "BackupPC_link" |grep ${1} |grep -v grep |awk {'print 
$2'})
if [ ${LINKPID} ]; then
while kill -0 ${LINKPID} ; do
        sleep 1
        echo ${LINKPID}
        LINKPID=$(ps aux |grep "BackupPC_link" |grep ${1} |grep -v grep |awk 
{'print $2'})
done
fi

Where $1 is the host getting backed up. Hope this helps somebody else
