I need to check if a process complete or not by shell script (linux and windows). What I know is the process ID. Once the process complete, the shell will call other commands. Could someone tell me how to write the shell?

On Linux you can use ps -p $PID to check the process, so you could write a while loop that checks e.g.
ps -p $PID | wc -l(this counts the lines, if the process is finished the output will result in less lines). you could break the while loop under this condition and then all the other code would be executed. I cannot write a snippet, because I do not have an access to a shell at the moment.
