Você pode lembrar o PID de cada novo filho (verifique $!
depois de iniciá-lo). Verifique periodicamente quantos filhos ainda existem (por exemplo, por kill -0
), se o número desce, crie um novo, etc. No final, apenas wait
.
Aqui está um script que escrevi pelo mesmo motivo:
#! /bin/bash
## Tries to run commands in parallel. Commands are read from STDIN one
## per line, or from a given file specified by -f.
## Author: E. Choroba
file='-'
proc_num=$(grep -c ^processor'\b' /proc/cpuinfo)
prefix=$HOSTNAME-$USER-$$
sleep=10
children=()
names=()
if [[ $1 =~ ^--?h(elp)?$ ]] ; then
cat <<-HELP
Usage: ${0##*/} [-f file] [-n max-processes] [-p tmp-prefix] -s [sleep]
Defaults:
STDIN for file
$proc_num for max-processes (number of processors)
$prefix for tmp-prefix
$sleep for sleep interval
