    Simple parallel processing with Bash using “wait” and “jobs” 

    #!/bin/bash
    # this is a simple helper script that can be used when you are in need of running multiple processes at once
    # simply run your command with an ampersand at the end and after this
    # execute forky with the number of parallel processes as argument.
    
    function forky() {
    	local num_par_procs
    	if [[ -z $1 ]] ; then
    		num_par_procs=3
    	else
    		num_par_procs=$1
    	fi
    
    	while [[ $(jobs | wc -l) -ge $num_par_procs ]] ; do
    		sleep 1
    	done
    }
    
    # below is an example - make sure to change this to your needs
    for fname in `ls -1`; do
    	echo "`jobs | wc -l` jobs in spool"
    	echo -e "processing $fname\n"
    	# below should be the command you like to execute. in this example it's a php script that would do something with a file.
    	# important is the & at the end of the command which sends the command to the background
    	php ~/a_script_that_does_something_with_the_file --file=$fname &
    	# after this call the forky function with the amount of parallel processes as parameter
    	forky 5
    done
    
    wait

    Test if a nameserver change is done right 

    # imagine you just updated your whois data so it will point your domain to an other nameserver and you want to know if that worked out
    # this little command lets you know on *nix based machines
    for i in a b c d e f g h i j k l; do dig +short ns domainname.com @$i.GTLD-SERVERS.NET; done

    Can you scale down the US map showing our locations so doesn’t look like Seattle is so far away from our other offices?

    I prefer that you create all the designs in Microsoft Word as this is a much better program to work with.

    If you want the client to pick option 1, you must make option 2 uglier.
