Of course, 3133700000 will be the mother of all epoch dates. April 20th, 20[69] and Unix will be 99.9 years old too. Quite a convergence.

You can also use "pgrep myscript.sh" to do the ps and grep in one step and avoid greping the grep. I like playing with nunchucks though.

Useless Use of Nunchucks - Twirling nunchucks around your body is a useless maneuver and you might hit yourself in the face.
-
The reason for the square brackets around the m in myscript.sh is because otherwise it would match the grep process itself.

while ( ps auxw | grep "[m]yscript.sh" ); do sleep 1; done; cp -va /src /dst # Wait until myscript.sh is done, but copying /src to /dst
