set -e
fail () {
    touch .failure
}
expect () {
    wait
    if [ -f .failure ]; then
        rm -f .failure
        exit 1
    fi
}

sleep 2 || fail &
sleep 2 && false || fail &
sleep 2 || fail
expect

顶部的set -e使脚本在失败时停止。

如果任何子作业失败，Expect将返回1。

捕获CHLD信号可能不起作用，因为如果它们同时到达，您可能会丢失一些信号。

#!/bin/bash

trap 'rm -f $tmpfile' EXIT

tmpfile=$(mktemp)

doCalculations() {
    echo start job $i...
    sleep $((RANDOM % 5)) 
    echo ...end job $i
    exit $((RANDOM % 10))
}

number_of_jobs=10

for i in $( seq 1 $number_of_jobs )
do
    ( trap "echo job$i : exit value : \$? >> $tmpfile" EXIT; doCalculations ) &
done

wait 

i=0
while read res; do
    echo "$res"
    let i++
done < "$tmpfile"

echo $i jobs 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。

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

#!/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。)

如果你安装了GNU Parallel，你可以这样做:

# If doCalculations is a function
export -f doCalculations
seq 0 9 | parallel doCalculations {}

GNU Parallel会给你退出代码:

0 -所有作业运行无错误。 1-253 -部分作业失败。退出状态给出了失败作业的数量 254—超过253个作业失败。 255 -其他错误。
