doctl compute action wait <action-id> [flags]
w
Block the current thread, returning when an action completes.
For example, if you find an action when calling doctl compute action list that has a status of in-progress, you can note the action ID and call doctl compute action wait <action-id>, and doctl will appear to “hang” until the action has completed. This can be useful for scripting purposes.
The following example waits for the action 123456 to complete before allowing further commands to execute:
doctl compute action wait 123456
