这里有很多有趣的答案，但我从这个答案中获得了灵感，并将一个简单的脚本组合在一起，并行运行多个进程，并在完成后处理结果。你可以在以下要点中找到它:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# inspired by https://stackoverflow.com/a/29535256/2860309

pids=""
failures=0

function my_process() {
    seconds_to_sleep=$1
    exit_code=$2
    sleep "$seconds_to_sleep"
    return "$exit_code"
}

(my_process 1 0) &
pid=$!
pids+=" ${pid}"
echo "${pid}: 1 second to success"

(my_process 1 1) &
pid=$!
pids+=" ${pid}"
echo "${pid}: 1 second to failure"

(my_process 2 0) &
pid=$!
pids+=" ${pid}"
echo "${pid}: 2 seconds to success"

(my_process 2 1) &
pid=$!
pids+=" ${pid}"
echo "${pid}: 2 seconds to failure"

echo "..."

for pid in $pids; do
        if wait "$pid"; then
                echo "Process $pid succeeded"
        else
                echo "Process $pid failed"
                failures=$((failures+1))
        fi
done

echo
echo "${failures} failures detected"

结果是:

86400: 1 second to success
86401: 1 second to failure
86402: 2 seconds to success
86404: 2 seconds to failure
...
Process 86400 succeeded
Process 86401 failed
Process 86402 succeeded
Process 86404 failed

2 failures detected

如果你是:

在Mac上使用iTerm 想要启动各种长期打开的进程，直到按Ctrl+C 希望能够轻松地看到每个进程的输出 希望能够轻松地使用Ctrl+C停止特定进程

如果你的用例更多的是应用监控/管理，一种选择是编写终端本身的脚本。

例如，我最近做了以下事情。当然，它是特定于Mac的，特定于iTerm的，并且依赖于已弃用的Apple Script API (iTerm有一个更新的Python选项)。它没有赢得任何优雅奖，但完成了任务。

#!/bin/sh
root_path="~/root-path"
auth_api_script="$root_path/auth-path/auth-script.sh"
admin_api_proj="$root_path/admin-path/admin.csproj"
agent_proj="$root_path/agent-path/agent.csproj"
dashboard_path="$root_path/dashboard-web"

osascript <<THEEND
tell application "iTerm"
  set newWindow to (create window with default profile)

  tell current session of newWindow
    set name to "Auth API"
    write text "pushd $root_path && $auth_api_script"
  end tell

  tell newWindow
    set newTab to (create tab with default profile)
    tell current session of newTab
        set name to "Admin API"
        write text "dotnet run --debug -p $admin_api_proj"
    end tell
  end tell

  tell newWindow
    set newTab to (create tab with default profile)
    tell current session of newTab
        set name to "Agent"
        write text "dotnet run --debug -p $agent_proj"
    end tell
  end tell

  tell newWindow
    set newTab to (create tab with default profile)
    tell current session of newTab
        set name to "Dashboard"
        write text "pushd $dashboard_path; ng serve -o"
    end tell
  end tell

end tell
THEEND

你的脚本应该是这样的:

prog1 &
prog2 &
.
.
progn &
wait
progn+1 &
progn+2 &
.
.

假设你的系统一次可以处理n个任务。使用wait一次只运行n个作业。

进程生成管理器

Sure, technically these are processes, and this program should really be called a process spawning manager, but this is only due to the way that BASH works when it forks using the ampersand, it uses the fork() or perhaps clone() system call which clones into a separate memory space, rather than something like pthread_create() which would share memory. If BASH supported the latter, each "sequence of execution" would operate just the same and could be termed to be traditional threads whilst gaining a more efficient memory footprint. Functionally however it works the same, though a bit more difficult since GLOBAL variables are not available in each worker clone hence the use of the inter-process communication file and the rudimentary flock semaphore to manage critical sections. Forking from BASH of course is the basic answer here but I feel as if people know that but are really looking to manage what is spawned rather than just fork it and forget it. This demonstrates a way to manage up to 200 instances of forked processes all accessing a single resource. Clearly this is overkill but I enjoyed writing it so I kept on. Increase the size of your terminal accordingly. I hope you find this useful.

你可以使用wait:

some_command &
P1=$!
other_command &
P2=$!
wait $P1 $P2

它将后台程序pid分配给变量($!是最后启动进程的PID)，然后wait命令等待它们。这很好，因为如果您终止了脚本，它也会终止进程!

xargs -P <n>允许并行运行<n个>命令。

虽然-P是一个非标准选项，但是GNU (Linux)和macOS/BSD实现都支持它。

示例如下:

最多同时运行3个命令， 只有在先前启动的进程终止时才启动附加命令。

time xargs -P 3 -I {} sh -c 'eval "$1"' - {} <<'EOF'
sleep 1; echo 1
sleep 2; echo 2
sleep 3; echo 3
echo 4
EOF

输出如下所示:

1   # output from 1st command 
4   # output from *last* command, which started as soon as the count dropped below 3
2   # output from 2nd command
3   # output from 3rd command

real    0m3.012s
user    0m0.011s
sys 0m0.008s

计时显示这些命令是并行运行的(最后一个命令仅在最初3个命令中的第一个命令终止后启动，但执行得非常快)。

xargs命令本身在所有命令完成之前不会返回，但是您可以在后台执行它，使用控制操作符&终止它，然后使用内置的wait等待整个xargs命令完成。

{
  xargs -P 3 -I {} sh -c 'eval "$1"' - {} <<'EOF'
sleep 1; echo 1
sleep 2; echo 2
sleep 3; echo 3
echo 4
EOF
} &

# Script execution continues here while `xargs` is running 
# in the background.
echo "Waiting for commands to finish..."

# Wait for `xargs` to finish, via special variable $!, which contains
# the PID of the most recently started background process.
wait $!

注意:

BSD/macOS xargs要求您显式地指定并行运行的命令的数量，而GNU xargs允许您指定-P 0以并行运行尽可能多的命令。 并行运行的进程的输出在生成时到达，因此它将不可预测地交错。 正如Ole的回答中所提到的(大多数平台都不是标准的)，GNU并行在每个进程的基础上方便地序列化(分组)输出，并提供了许多更高级的特性。
