What’s the best way to stop the connection card from switching to “running” until the `script.sh.erb` file reaches the `/proc/$pid` check? A port isn’t being opened by the application as it works in conjunction with another OOD app, so I can’t check for a specific port.

One of the last things done in the `script.sh.erb` is create a directory. Is there a way for the after.sh.erb to check if a directory exists?

Sure yea you can do anything in the `after.sh.erb`, it’s a shell script after all. Just have it block until you’re ready to move on.
