maybe do a script that does it for you instead...
This script will keep you at max 10 instances of bzip:
-- snip--
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
max=10
for file in $*
do
bzip2 --compress --keep --force --best "$file" &
while [ `ps aux | grep bzip | awk 'END { print NR }'` -ge $max ]
do
sleep 1
done
done
-- snap --
This is just an example. There are probably ways to tune it and make it
better.
