I have several subdirectories in $SHOP.
I want to use wait_on(1) to watch for changes in each of the subdirectories. So, I tried this:
However, this doesn't work, because once a single instance of wait_on(1) is running, the initial condition for the existence of $PID_DIRECTORY is always satisfied, so wait_on(1) gets only started in the first subdirectory. So, I'd need to set the initial condition so that wait_on(1) is started in each of the subdirectories, and then keep track of each $PID_DIRECTORY.
How could I do that?

Code:
while :; do
for DIRECTORY in $(find $SHOP -type d -mindepth 1)
do
if ps -p $PID_DIRECTORY # > /dev/null 2>&1
then
echo "$PID_DIRECTORY is running"
else
/usr/local/bin/wait_on -h $DIRECTORY &
PID_DIRECTORY=$(echo $!)
fi
done
sleep 10
