HI Mateusz Yeah, tried the basic "&" ... but the issue is the shell scripts run as infinite loops.. and therefore, the dog.sh doesn't really exit/complete. So I can't really run them sequentially. If I open up separate term/windows, then of course, I can manually run them (one in each window).. thanks On Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 5:46 PM, Mateusz Marzantowicz <mmarzantowicz@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > W dniu 27.03.2012 23:25, bruce pisze: >> 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 >> >> dog.sh > &2 >> cat.sh > &2 >> >> 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 > Did you try: > > command1 & command2 > > where command1 and command2 are bash built in commands or scripts (in > your case dog.sh and cat.sh)? > > > Mateusz Marzantowicz > -- > users mailing list > users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > Have a question?
