#!/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。)

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

等待所有作业并返回最后一个失败作业的退出码。与上面的解决方案不同，这不需要保存pid，也不需要修改脚本的内部循环。走开，等着吧。

function wait_ex {
    # this waits for all jobs and returns the exit code of the last failing job
    ecode=0
    while true; do
        [ -z "$(jobs)" ] && break
        wait -n
        err="$?"
        [ "$err" != "0" ] && ecode="$err"
    done
    return $ecode
}

编辑:修正了脚本运行不存在的命令时可能被愚弄的错误。

这是我目前想到的。我想了解如何在子进程终止时中断sleep命令，这样就不必根据使用情况调优WAITALL_DELAY。

waitall() { # PID...
  ## Wait for children to exit and indicate whether all exited with 0 status.
  local errors=0
  while :; do
    debug "Processes remaining: $*"
    for pid in "$@"; do
      shift
      if kill -0 "$pid" 2>/dev/null; then
        debug "$pid is still alive."
        set -- "$@" "$pid"
      elif wait "$pid"; then
        debug "$pid exited with zero exit status."
      else
        debug "$pid exited with non-zero exit status."
        ((++errors))
      fi
    done
    (("$#" > 0)) || break
    # TODO: how to interrupt this sleep when a child terminates?
    sleep ${WAITALL_DELAY:-1}
   done
  ((errors == 0))
}

debug() { echo "DEBUG: $*" >&2; }

pids=""
for t in 3 5 4; do 
  sleep "$t" &
  pids="$pids $!"
done
waitall $pids

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。

下面是我的版本，适用于多个pid，如果执行时间过长，则记录警告，如果执行时间超过给定值，则停止子进程。

例如，等待所有三个进程完成，如果执行时间超过5秒，则记录警告，如果执行时间超过120秒，则停止所有进程。不要在失败时退出程序。

function something {

    sleep 10 &
    pids="$!"
    sleep 12 &
    pids="$pids;$!"
    sleep 9 &
    pids="$pids;$!"

    WaitForTaskCompletion $pids 5 120 ${FUNCNAME[0]} false
}
# Launch the function
