How to determine when a Stack Script is finished when using linode-cli?
If I create a linode with linode-cli and use the stack script option, is there any way I can determine when the stack script is finished doing its thing? In my case I am using the standard Docker stack script, and I don't want my script to start issuing docker commands until installation is complete.
Thanks!

There currently isn't any way to do this. You could customize the Docker stackscript to poke something (hit an API, ssh into a box) when it's done all the important things, or you could have the stackscript itself do the remaining setup you need.
Thanks!
What I ended up doing is just putting in a 5 minute wait loop after the linode-cli has reported the linode as running. This is a more than sufficient amount of time for the node to finish booting and execute the Docker install stack script. I hate the non-determinism of it, but for my purposes it works.
