dicer wait

Wait until an instance stops, and exit with its status

Synopsis

Waits until an instance stops, prints the status its guest ended with and exits with it: the workload’s exit code, or 0 for a guest that powered itself off.

An instance that has already stopped is not waited for; its last status is reported at once. An instance its restart policy starts again has not stopped, so the wait goes on.
