在等待流程之前，流程可能已经完成。如果我们触发等待一个已经完成的进程，它将触发一个错误，比如pid不是这个shell的子进程。为了避免这种情况，可以使用以下函数来查找过程是否完成:

isProcessComplete(){
PID=$1
while [ -e /proc/$PID ]
do
    echo "Process: $PID is still running"
    sleep 5
done
echo "Process $PID has finished"
}

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

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。

#!/bin/bash

FAIL=0

echo "starting"

./sleeper 2 0 &
./sleeper 2 1 &
./sleeper 3 0 &
./sleeper 2 0 &

for job in `jobs -p`
do
echo $job
    wait $job || let "FAIL+=1"
done

echo $FAIL

if [ "$FAIL" == "0" ];
then
echo "YAY!"
else
echo "FAIL! ($FAIL)"
fi

这是有效的，应该是一个很好的，如果不是更好的@HoverHell的答案!

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -m # allow for job control
EXIT_CODE=0;  # exit code of overall script

function foo() {
     echo "CHLD exit code is $1"
     echo "CHLD pid is $2"
     echo $(jobs -l)

     for job in `jobs -p`; do
         echo "PID => ${job}"
         wait ${job} ||  echo "At least one test failed with exit code => $?" ; EXIT_CODE=1
     done
}

trap 'foo $? $$' CHLD

DIRN=$(dirname "$0");

commands=(
    "{ echo "foo" && exit 4; }"
    "{ echo "bar" && exit 3; }"
    "{ echo "baz" && exit 5; }"
)

clen=`expr "${#commands[@]}" - 1` # get length of commands - 1

for i in `seq 0 "$clen"`; do
    (echo "${commands[$i]}" | bash) &   # run the command via bash in subshell
    echo "$i ith command has been issued as a background job"
done

# wait for all to finish
wait;

echo "EXIT_CODE => $EXIT_CODE"
exit "$EXIT_CODE"

# end

当然，我已经在一个NPM项目中保存了这个脚本，它允许你并行运行bash命令，对测试很有用:

https://github.com/ORESoftware/generic-subshell

我有一个类似的情况，但有各种各样的问题与循环子shell，确保这里的其他解决方案不能工作，所以我让我的循环编写脚本，我将运行，等待结束。有效:

#!/bin/bash
echo > tmpscript.sh
for i in `seq 0 9`; do
    echo "doCalculations $i &" >> tmpscript.sh
done
echo "wait" >> tmpscript.sh
chmod u+x tmpscript.sh
./tmpscript.sh

愚蠢，但简单，并帮助调试一些事后的事情。

如果我有时间，我会更深入地了解GNU并行，但这对我自己的“doCalculations”过程来说很困难。
