Re: how to enable thread

[lina]

Actually I got a bash script which contains several process (jobs)

The waiting time is so long, I mean, run one by one,

I can submit one by one separately  I can see the cores were used 100%
one by one,
but it's better use some bash script so I can easily modify in large amounts.

How can I enable thread in bash script,

like the one they did in 'make' file. I tried to understand but it's so hard,

Thanks for any further suggestions,
