A second job with a simple shell script will be added to the job chain Job Chain in this tutorial. The scripts in both Jobs will be set to carry out a trivial task that takes a few seconds to complete (pinging the localhost) and thereby allow the progress of the order along the job chain to be better observed in the JOC Cockpit.
