这是对@Luca Tettamanti获得最多赞的答案的扩展，以创建一个完全可运行的示例。

这个答案让我很好奇:

n_procs是什么类型的变量，它包含什么?procs是什么类型的变量，它包含什么?有人能更新这个答案，使其可运行通过添加这些变量的定义吗?我不明白是怎么回事。

.．.还有:

当子流程完成时，如何从子流程获得返回代码(这是这个问题的整个关键)?

总之，我算出来了，这是一个完全可运行的例子。

注:

$! is how to obtain the PID (Process ID) of the last-executed sub-process. Running any command with the & after it, like cmd &, for example, causes it to run in the background as a parallel suprocess with the main process. myarray=() is how to create an array in bash. To learn a tiny bit more about the wait built-in command, see help wait. See also, and especially, the official Bash user manual on Job Control built-ins, such as wait and jobs, here: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Job-Control-Builtins.html#index-wait.

完整的、可运行的程序:等待所有进程结束

multi_process_program.sh (from my eRCaGuy_hello_world repo):

#!/usr/bin/env bash


# This is a special sleep function which returns the number of seconds slept as
# the "error code" or return code" so that we can easily see that we are in
# fact actually obtaining the return code of each process as it finishes.
my_sleep() {
    seconds_to_sleep="$1"
    sleep "$seconds_to_sleep"
    return "$seconds_to_sleep"
}

# Create an array of whatever commands you want to run as subprocesses
procs=()  # bash array
procs+=("my_sleep 5")
procs+=("my_sleep 2")
procs+=("my_sleep 3")
procs+=("my_sleep 4")

num_procs=${#procs[@]}  # number of processes
echo "num_procs = $num_procs"

# run commands as subprocesses and store pids in an array
pids=()  # bash array
for (( i=0; i<"$num_procs"; i++ )); do
    echo "cmd = ${procs[$i]}"
    ${procs[$i]} &  # run the cmd as a subprocess
    # store pid of last subprocess started; see:
    # https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/30371/114401
    pids+=("$!")
    echo "    pid = ${pids[$i]}"
done

# OPTION 1 (comment this option out if using Option 2 below): wait for all pids
for pid in "${pids[@]}"; do
    wait "$pid"
    return_code="$?"
    echo "PID = $pid; return_code = $return_code"
done
echo "All $num_procs processes have ended."

通过运行chmod +x multi_process_program.sh将上面的文件修改为可执行文件，然后像这样运行:

time ./multi_process_program.sh 

样例输出。查看调用中的time命令的输出如何显示运行时间为5.084秒。我们还能够成功地从每个子流程检索返回代码。

eRCaGuy_hello_world/bash$ time ./multi_process_program.sh num_procs = 4 cmd = my_sleep 5 pid = 21694 cmd = my_sleep 2 pid = 21695 cmd = my_sleep 3 pid = 21697 cmd = my_sleep 4 pid = 21699 PID = 21694; return_code = 5 PID = 21695; return_code = 2 PID = 21697; return_code = 3 PID = 21699; return_code = 4 All 4 processes have ended. PID 21694 is done; return_code = 5; 3 PIDs remaining. PID 21695 is done; return_code = 2; 2 PIDs remaining. PID 21697 is done; return_code = 3; 1 PIDs remaining. PID 21699 is done; return_code = 4; 0 PIDs remaining. real 0m5.084s user 0m0.025s sys 0m0.061s

更进一步:确定每个单独进程结束的时间

如果您希望在每个进程结束时执行一些操作，而您不知道它们将在何时结束，那么可以在无限while循环中轮询以查看每个进程何时结束，然后执行您想要的任何操作。

只需注释掉上面的“OPTION 1”代码块，并将其替换为“OPTION 2”代码块:

# OR OPTION 2 (comment out Option 1 above if using Option 2): poll to detect
# when each process terminates, and print out when each process finishes!
while true; do
    for i in "${!pids[@]}"; do
        pid="${pids[$i]}"
        # echo "pid = $pid"  # debugging

        # See if PID is still running; see my answer here:
        # https://stackoverflow.com/a/71134379/4561887
        ps --pid "$pid" > /dev/null
        if [ "$?" -ne 0 ]; then
            # PID doesn't exist anymore, meaning it terminated

            # 1st, read its return code
            wait "$pid"
            return_code="$?"

            # 2nd, remove this PID from the `pids` array by `unset`ting the
            # element at this index; NB: due to how bash arrays work, this does
            # NOT actually remove this element from the array. Rather, it
            # removes its index from the `"${!pids[@]}"` list of indices,
            # adjusts the array count(`"${#pids[@]}"`) accordingly, and it sets
            # the value at this index to either a null value of some sort, or
            # an empty string (I'm not exactly sure).
            unset "pids[$i]"

            num_pids="${#pids[@]}"
            echo "PID $pid is done; return_code = $return_code;" \
                 "$num_pids PIDs remaining."
        fi
    done

    # exit the while loop if the `pids` array is empty
    if [ "${#pids[@]}" -eq 0 ]; then
        break
    fi

    # Do some small sleep here to keep your polling loop from sucking up
    # 100% of one of your CPUs unnecessarily. Sleeping allows other processes
    # to run during this time.
    sleep 0.1
done

完整程序的示例运行和输出，注释掉选项1，使用选项2:

eRCaGuy_hello_world / bash。美元/ multi_process_program.sh Num_procs = 4 CMD = my_sleep Pid = 22275 CMD = my_sleep Pid = 22276 CMD = my_sleep Pid = 22277 CMD = my_sleep Pid = 22280 PID 22276完成;Return_code = 2;剩余3个pid。 PID 22277完成;Return_code = 3;剩余2个pid。 PID 22280完成;Return_code = 4;剩余1个pid。 PID 22275完成;Return_code = 5;剩余的pid为0。

每一个PID XXXXX都是在进程结束后实时打印出来的!请注意，尽管sleep 5的进程(在本例中为PID 22275)是首先运行的，但它是最后完成的，并且我们在每个进程终止后成功检测到它。我们还成功地检测了每个返回代码，就像选项1一样。

*****+ [VERY HELPFUL] Get exit code of a background process - this answer taught me the key principle that (emphasis added): wait <n> waits until the process with PID is complete (it will block until the process completes, so you might not want to call this until you are sure the process is done), and then returns the exit code of the completed process. In other words, it helped me know that even after the process is complete, you can still call wait on it to get its return code! How to check if a process id (PID) exists my answer Remove an element from a Bash array - note that elements in a bash array aren't actually deleted, they are just "unset". See my comments in the code above for what that means. How to use the command-line executable true to make an infinite while loop in bash: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/bash-infinite-loop/

我想运行doCalculations;echo $ ?”>>/tmp/acc在一个子shell中被发送到后台，然后等待，然后/tmp/acc将包含退出状态，每行一个。不过，我不知道多个进程附加到累加器文件的任何后果。

下面是这个建议的一个例子:

文件:doCalcualtions

#!/bin/sh

random -e 20
sleep $?
random -e 10

文件:

#!/bin/sh

rm /tmp/acc

for i in $( seq 0 20 ) 
do
        ( ./doCalculations "$i"; echo "$?" >>/tmp/acc ) &
done

wait

cat /tmp/acc | fmt
rm /tmp/acc

running ./try的输出

5 1 9 6 8 1 2 0 9 6 5 9 6 0 0 4 9 5 5 9 8

http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/010717.html:

#!/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

#!/bin/bash
set -m
for i in `seq 0 9`; do
  doCalculations $i &
done
while fg; do true; done

Set -m允许您在脚本中使用fg和bg Fg除了将最后一个进程放在前台之外，它的退出状态与它所前台的进程相同 而当任何fg以非零退出状态退出时，fg将停止循环

不幸的是，当后台进程以非零退出状态退出时，这将无法处理这种情况。(循环不会立即终止。它将等待前面的进程完成。)

这是我使用的东西:

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

这里已经有很多答案了，但我很惊讶似乎没有人建议使用数组……这就是我所做的——这可能在将来对一些人有用。

n=10 # run 10 jobs
c=0
PIDS=()

while true

    my_function_or_command &
    PID=$!
    echo "Launched job as PID=$PID"
    PIDS+=($PID)

    (( c+=1 ))

    # required to prevent any exit due to error
    # caused by additional commands run which you
    # may add when modifying this example
    true

do

    if (( c < n ))
    then
        continue
    else
        break
    fi
done 


# collect launched jobs

for pid in "${PIDS[@]}"
do
    wait $pid || echo "failed job PID=$pid"
done
