Running multiple long-lived processes in a shell prompt, whose exit = values you care about, running in the background, along with "a myriad = of other commands", presumably short-lived, in the interim, then looking = through "the flotsam and jetsam" for a success message. Sounds like a = total mess. Put your important long-lived processesin their own = sessions. Or, if you must interleave them, wrap the call to pg_dump in a = simple conditional.=
