Hi Folks,

I have made a shell scripts which does some grep on logs and puts the output in one text file. Basically this script is kept on 10 other servers from where the output text file will be SCP to the host server. Now from the host server i need to invoke all the script at one go so that i get all the 10 log files in minimum time (almost parallel). The scripts on each server take around 10 secs to complete.

Thanks!!

seems as easy as:unless i'm missing something.

Thank you Sir.

Just to make more clear.
I have same script on 10 different client server which will create on output text file on its respective client server. The o/p txt file takes 10 secs to generate. Now from my host server i need to invoke the all the client scripts. If I invoke all the 10 scripts via for loop in my host script then it would take 10*10 = 100 seconds to get all the o/p files on host machine. But if i invoke all of them in parallel then i may get all the 10 o/p files on host in 10 secs. This will save a lot of time for me.

Please let me know on this. Thanks for all the patience again.

not sure if you saw my previous response but for each command the '&' tells the shell to background the command and execute the next statement without waiting for the command to finish.
