I would like to introduce multithreading feature in my shell script.
I have a script which calls the function read_cfg() with different arguments.
Each of these function calls are independent.
Would it be possible to instantiate these function calls (not scripts) parallelly.
Please let me how can we achieve that.. ?
Sure, just add
&after the command:all those jobs will then run in the background simultaneously. The optional
waitcommand will then wait for all the jobs to finish.Each command will run in a separate process, so it’s technically not “multithreading”, but I believe it solves your problem.
