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

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!

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。

为了将此并行化…

for i in $(whatever_list) ; do
   do_something $i
done

翻译成这样…

for i in $(whatever_list) ; do echo $i ; done | ## execute in parallel...
   (
   export -f do_something ## export functions (if needed)
   export PATH ## export any variables that are required
   xargs -I{} --max-procs 0 bash -c ' ## process in batches...
      {
      echo "processing {}" ## optional
      do_something {}
      }' 
   )

If an error occurs in one process, it won't interrupt the other processes, but it will result in a non-zero exit code from the sequence as a whole. Exporting functions and variables may or may not be necessary, in any particular case. You can set --max-procs based on how much parallelism you want (0 means "all at once"). GNU Parallel offers some additional features when used in place of xargs -- but it isn't always installed by default. The for loop isn't strictly necessary in this example since echo $i is basically just regenerating the output of $(whatever_list). I just think the use of the for keyword makes it a little easier to see what is going on. Bash string handling can be confusing -- I have found that using single quotes works best for wrapping non-trivial scripts. You can easily interrupt the entire operation (using ^C or similar), unlike the the more direct approach to Bash parallelism.

下面是一个简化的工作示例……

for i in {0..5} ; do echo $i ; done |xargs -I{} --max-procs 2 bash -c '
   {
   echo sleep {}
   sleep 2s
   }'

如果您有bash 4.2或更高版本可用，以下内容可能对您有用。它使用关联数组存储任务名称及其“代码”，以及任务名称及其pid。我还内置了一个简单的速率限制方法，如果你的任务消耗了大量CPU或I/O时间，你想限制并发任务的数量，这个方法可能会派上用场。

脚本在第一个循环中启动所有任务，在第二个循环中使用结果。

对于简单的情况，这有点过分，但它允许非常简洁的东西。例如，可以将每个任务的错误消息存储在另一个关联数组中，并在一切都解决后打印它们。

#! /bin/bash

main () {
    local -A pids=()
    local -A tasks=([task1]="echo 1"
                    [task2]="echo 2"
                    [task3]="echo 3"
                    [task4]="false"
                    [task5]="echo 5"
                    [task6]="false")
    local max_concurrent_tasks=2

    for key in "${!tasks[@]}"; do
        while [ $(jobs 2>&1 | grep -c Running) -ge "$max_concurrent_tasks" ]; do
            sleep 1 # gnu sleep allows floating point here...
        done
        ${tasks[$key]} &
        pids+=(["$key"]="$!")
    done

    errors=0
    for key in "${!tasks[@]}"; do
        pid=${pids[$key]}
        local cur_ret=0
        if [ -z "$pid" ]; then
            echo "No Job ID known for the $key process" # should never happen
            cur_ret=1
        else
            wait $pid
            cur_ret=$?
        fi
        if [ "$cur_ret" -ne 0 ]; then
            errors=$(($errors + 1))
            echo "$key (${tasks[$key]}) failed."
        fi
    done

    return $errors
}
