In the TeX Book? Available on CTAN.

	\write18{m4 /Users/tix/Desktop/CM/pgf.m4 /Users/tix/Desktop/CM/ 
libcct.m4 ./rc.m4 | dpic -g > rc.tex}
	\write18{mysleep.sh 20}

And mysleep.sh determines which TeX process has created it, sends  
this process a STOP signal, sleeps for <argument> seconds, then sends  
the TeX process a CONT signal.

Could be a way. More complete would be to wait for a semaphore file  
to show up, for example ...
