Spawing multiple display processes from one shell.
Question: Suppose I want to, from the terminal, use a shell script that would do the display image.jpg command to load multiple images from a directory all at the same time. One terminal, and for example 10 image files. Basically I want to execute 10 different commands simultaniously all from the same shell and open ten different windows with the images in them.
How would this be done?
I have a basic idea with for loops, number sequences, and background processes. But is there an easy way that's pretty much universal on any unix platform?
for file in `ls -1 *.jpg`; do display $file; done
does a nice job of displaying the images in alphabetic order one by one. but I want to load em all up all at the same time from one shell.

For a complete description, see /usr/share/doc/libopenimageio-dev/openimageio.pdf.gz.
