Running multiple long-lived processes in a shell prompt, whose exit values you care about, running in the background,
alongwith "a myriad of other commands", presumably short-lived, in the interim, then looking through "the flotsam and
jetsam"for a success message. Sounds like a total mess. Put your important long-lived processesin their own sessions.
Or,if you must interleave them, wrap the call to pg_dump in a simple conditional.
