New subject: [CentOS] parallel bash scripts

28 Mar 2012


      I solved a similar problem by installing gnu parallel on my system.
It did everything that I wanted, and better than I would have coded.

Check out the redirection at the end of each command.  1>&2 redirects
the standard out of your child command to the standard error which then
appears in the parent shell.  At the end the last & launches your
command into a background shell and then moves on to launch the next
command.  The redirections don't care if the command ever terminates.
The result is that both commands are launched and the parent shell
terminates leaving the standard error attached to the terminal that the
parent was launched in.

hi.
got a couple of test bash scripts.
dog.sh, cat.sh
each script runs the underlying php in an endless loop.
I'm trying to figure out how to run the scripts in parallel, from the
same parent shell script. something like:
test.sh
where dog.sh would be :
while true
do
   pgrep dog
   if [ $? -ne 0 ]
   then
     /dog.php
   fi
sleep 5
done
my current tests, run dog.sh, which runs the dog.php ... but the test
never gets to run cat.sh
thoughts/comments...
thanks
Hey Bruce,
Do you mean to run these subprograms in parallel or in series?
cat.sh
#! /bin/bash
CAT=0
until [ $CAT -eq 10 ]
do
echo "Inside a dog it's too dark to read. $CAT"
CAT=$[$CAT + 1]
sleep 2
done
dog.sh
#! /bin/bash
DOG=0
until [ $DOG -eq 10 ]
do
echo "Next to a dog a book is man's best friend. $DOG"
DOG=$[$DOG + 1]
sleep 2
done
test.sh
#! /bin/sh
/home/mlapier/test/dog.sh 1>&2&
/home/mlapier/test/cat.sh 1>&2&
[mlapier@mushroom test]$ ./test.sh
[mlapier@mushroom test]$ Next to a dog a book is man's best friend. 0
Inside a dog it's too dark to read. 0
