Hi,
http://minilien.org/t48k the principle is interresting : set -j 4 however, I prefer to just limit the // executions using the usual & for i in 3 5 11 21 8 9 13 7; do echo sleep $i ( sleep $i echo $i finished ) & done than any new keywords like : pfor i in 3 5 11 21 8 9 13 7; do echo sleep $i sleep $i echo $i finished done I suppose that the expected result is : sleep 3 sleep 5 sleep 11 sleep 21 3 finished sleep 8 5 finished sleep 9 11 finished sleep 13 8 finished sleep 7 9 finished 7 finished 21 finished 13 finished possible usage : set -j # where # is the maximum number of // jobs 0 : infinite (default) -1 : auto-configure to the number of cpu FYI : AIX : LC_ALL=C lsdev -c processor | grep -c Avail Darwin : sysctl -n hw.availcpu Freebsd : sysctl -n hw.ncpu # may support availcpu ? HP-UX : ioscan -fkC processor | grep -c processor Cygwin : grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo Linux : grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo SunOS : LC_ALL=C psrinfo -v | grep -c on-line Regards, Cyrille Lefevre -- mailto:[email protected] _______________________________________________ ast-users mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-users
