Thanks for the info

i think i can run concurrent jobs using cron. according to this thread the default is 100.
https://www.unix.com/showthread.php?t...light=cron+100.

And we know that one cpu can run multiple jobs at a time.
What you specified works for me. but if i want to test 500 concurrent jobs i need to have 500 entries in my cron with the same time stamp. to avoid that i am looking for a script.
