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

The SourceBench — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 13:53:14 +0000

#!/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
