# Nodetool tasks wait

**tasks wait** - Waits until a task manager task is finished and gets its status.
If timeout is set and it expires, the appropriate message with failure reason
will be printed.

## Syntax

```console
nodetool tasks wait <task_id> [(--quiet|-q)] [--timeout <time_in_second>]
```

## Options

* `--quiet` or `-q` - if set, status of a task isn’t printed. Instead the proper exit code is returned:
  > * 0 - if task finished successfully
  > * 123 - if task failed
  > * 124 - if request timed out
  > * 125 - if an error occurred and the task status is undetermined
* `--timeout` - timeout in seconds.

## Syntax

```console
nodetool tasks wait <task_id>
```

For example:

```shell
> nodetool tasks wait ef1b7a61-66c8-494c-bb03-6f65724e6eee
```
