Description

The command blocks 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.
