I am having trouble with getting background processes to work properly in a
sequential order.  What I mean is, when I use background or comint-exec,
whatever elisp functions are executed after the background process is
invoked, but I want them to run when the background process terminates, not
when it starts.

The only way I can think of to get this behavior would be to get the proces=
s
id and poll it until it is done, but this won't work for me because I don't
want to make the emacs process wait until the entire process is done.
(otherwise I would have just used shell-command or something like that, but
then again shell-command exibits the same issue, which I don't think is
correct behavior)

Is it possible to have sequential control of forked/asynchronous processes
in emacs, and if so, how would I do this.

Sorry if I overlooked something obvious, which I probably did.
