我几乎陷入了使用jobs -p来收集pid的陷阱，如果子进程已经退出，这将不起作用，如下面的脚本所示。我选择的解决方案是简单地调用-n N次，其中N是我有孩子的数量，这是我确定知道的。

#!/usr/bin/env bash

sleeper() {
    echo "Sleeper $1"
    sleep $2
    echo "Exiting $1"
    return $3
}

start_sleepers() {
    sleeper 1 1 0 &
    sleeper 2 2 $1 &
    sleeper 3 5 0 &
    sleeper 4 6 0 &
    sleep 4
}

echo "Using jobs"
start_sleepers 1

pids=( $(jobs -p) )

echo "PIDS: ${pids[*]}"

for pid in "${pids[@]}"; do
    wait "$pid"
    echo "Exit code $?"
done

echo "Clearing other children"
wait -n; echo "Exit code $?"
wait -n; echo "Exit code $?"

echo "Waiting for N processes"
start_sleepers 2

for ignored in $(seq 1 4); do
    wait -n
    echo "Exit code $?"
done

输出:

Using jobs
Sleeper 1
Sleeper 2
Sleeper 3
Sleeper 4
Exiting 1
Exiting 2
PIDS: 56496 56497
Exiting 3
Exit code 0
Exiting 4
Exit code 0
Clearing other children
Exit code 0
Exit code 1
Waiting for N processes
Sleeper 1
Sleeper 2
Sleeper 3
Sleeper 4
Exiting 1
Exiting 2
Exit code 0
Exit code 2
Exiting 3
Exit code 0
Exiting 4
Exit code 0

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。

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 ...

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。

我看到这里列出了很多很好的例子，我也想把我的举出来。

#! /bin/bash

items="1 2 3 4 5 6"
pids=""

for item in $items; do
    sleep $item &
    pids+="$! "
done

for pid in $pids; do
    wait $pid
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "SUCCESS - Job $pid exited with a status of $?"
    else
        echo "FAILED - Job $pid exited with a status of $?"
    fi
done

我使用非常类似的方法并行启动/停止服务器/服务，并检查每个退出状态。对我来说很好。希望这能帮助到一些人!

从Bash 5.1开始，由于引入了wait -p，有了一种很好的等待和处理多个后台作业结果的新方法:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Spawn background jobs
for ((i=0; i < 10; i++)); do
    secs=$((RANDOM % 10)); code=$((RANDOM % 256))
    (sleep ${secs}; exit ${code}) &
    echo "Started background job (pid: $!, sleep: ${secs}, code: ${code})"
done

# Wait for background jobs, print individual results, determine overall result
result=0
while true; do
    wait -n -p pid; code=$?
    [[ -z "${pid}" ]] && break
    echo "Background job ${pid} finished with code ${code}"
    (( ${code} != 0 )) && result=1
done

# Return overall result
exit ${result}
