Though this would have the side effect of tacking up a slot either on your pool or on your local machine which may be problematic if you run more concurrent clusters
that you have free slots to run your wait jobs. A nicer though more complex solution is to create some service (or *nix equiv) which is informed of clusters it is meant to watch (simple web service may well be ideal) and this fires off a condor wait process. Then you just need to deal with persisting state. 

Alternate is to setup a new pool just for this but that seems somewhat excessive...
