Dear All,
I have a small script that feeds a file name to a program and then the program
start to run once it gets the file name and output the results in
the directory that runs. I have ubuntu 10.04 laptop with 64 bit with 4 cores.
I want to parallel the script so that it can run at once at least in four of
the processes and continue once those jobs are finished. I have at least 30
files in a given month.
The script is simple and it looks like this:
for file in *.a............do
prog -i $file -type s
done
Here the executable program "prog" needs the file name as input after the "-i"
option. I do not have also control over the output files. It output the
results in the directory I run.
Is it possible to use gnu parallel for this type of jobs.
Kind regardsYacob
