简单地说:

#!/bin/bash

pids=""

for i in `seq 0 9`; do
   doCalculations $i &
   pids="$pids $!"
done

wait $pids

...code continued here ...

更新:

正如许多评论者指出的那样，上面的代码在继续之前会等待所有进程完成，但如果其中一个进程失败了，它不会退出，也不会失败，可以通过@Bryan， @SamBrightman和其他人建议的以下修改来完成:

#!/bin/bash

pids=""
RESULT=0


for i in `seq 0 9`; do
   doCalculations $i &
   pids="$pids $!"
done

for pid in $pids; do
    wait $pid || let "RESULT=1"
done

if [ "$RESULT" == "1" ];
    then
       exit 1
fi

...code continued here ...

这是我使用的东西:

#wait for jobs
for job in `jobs -p`; do wait ${job}; done

下面的代码将等待所有计算的完成，并在任何doccalculation失败时返回退出状态1。

#!/bin/bash
for i in $(seq 0 9); do
   (doCalculations $i >&2 & wait %1; echo $?) &
done | grep -qv 0 && exit 1

wait还(可选地)接受要等待的进程的PID，并且使用$!你会得到最后一个命令的PID在后台启动。 修改循环，将每个衍生子进程的PID存储到一个数组中，然后再次循环等待每个PID。

# run processes and store pids in array
for i in $n_procs; do
    ./procs[${i}] &
    pids[${i}]=$!
done

# wait for all pids
for pid in ${pids[*]}; do
    wait $pid
done

我最近用过这个(感谢Alnitak):

#!/bin/bash
# activate child monitoring
set -o monitor

# locking subprocess
(while true; do sleep 0.001; done) &
pid=$!

# count, and kill when all done
c=0
function kill_on_count() {
    # you could kill on whatever criterion you wish for
    # I just counted to simulate bash's wait with no args
    [ $c -eq 9 ] && kill $pid
    c=$((c+1))
    echo -n '.' # async feedback (but you don't know which one)
}
trap "kill_on_count" CHLD

function save_status() {
    local i=$1;
    local rc=$2;
    # do whatever, and here you know which one stopped
    # but remember, you're called from a subshell
    # so vars have their values at fork time
}

# care must be taken not to spawn more than one child per loop
# e.g don't use `seq 0 9` here!
for i in {0..9}; do
    (doCalculations $i; save_status $i $?) &
done

# wait for locking subprocess to be killed
wait $pid
echo

从这里，我们可以很容易地推断，并拥有一个触发器(触摸文件，发送信号)并改变计数标准(计数触摸的文件，或其他)以响应该触发器。或者如果你只是想要'any'非零rc，只需从save_status中杀死锁。

等待所有作业并返回最后一个失败作业的退出码。与上面的解决方案不同，这不需要保存pid，也不需要修改脚本的内部循环。走开，等着吧。

function wait_ex {
    # this waits for all jobs and returns the exit code of the last failing job
    ecode=0
    while true; do
        [ -z "$(jobs)" ] && break
        wait -n
        err="$?"
        [ "$err" != "0" ] && ecode="$err"
    done
    return $ecode
}

编辑:修正了脚本运行不存在的命令时可能被愚弄的错误。
