We have a 5.4.2.0 TSM server running under mainframe Linus. Our
daily housekeeping uses 'backup stgpool', 'migrate stgpool',
and 'reclaim stgpool' commands that start multiple processes.
The home-grown software that manages our housekeeping figures
out when each of these activities is done by examining data
piped from an administrative client session with the console
option. I am looking into the possibility of simplifying the
management software by using the 'wait=yes' option of the
various commands. How does this option behave with multiple
processes? In particular, does the command end when the last
of the multiple processes ends?

`look into the PARALLEL and SERIAL keywords for TSM server scripts.
