Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Is there a way to make bash [or another shell] use all CPU cores to execute a single script? Post 302390355 by ph0enix on Wednesday 27th of January 2010 04:57:04 PM

More seriously, regarding python. Python has multi-threading, but it uses only one core (GIL...). You can use several core by using multiple processes with IPC.

Here's what I've got in python so far:

Code:
import threading
import string
theVar = 1
class MyThread ( threading.Thread ):
   def run ( self ):
      global theVar
      theVar = theVar + 1
      for x in set(string.ascii_lowercase):
        print x
        for y in set(string.ascii_lowercase):
         print x,y
         for z in set(string.ascii_lowercase):
          print x,y,z
MyThread().start()

Despite the multiple threads, the python script takes twice as long to execute than the bash script.
Aside from that, something is off with the printed results. Even though the python script prints more lines than the bash script, it seems to be missing all the 1 and 2 letter combinations *Sigh*

NAME
rbash - restricted bash, see bash(1) RESTRICTED SHELL
If bash is started with the name rbash, or the -r option is supplied at invocation, the shell becomes restricted. A restricted shell is used to set up an environment more controlled than the standard shell. It behaves identically to bash with the exception that the follow- ing are disallowed or not performed: o changing directories with cd o setting or unsetting the values of SHELL, PATH, ENV, or BASH_ENV o specifying command names containing / o specifying a file name containing a / as an argument to the . builtin command o specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the -p option to the hash builtin command o importing function definitions from the shell environment at startup o parsing the value of SHELLOPTS from the shell environment at startup o redirecting output using the >, >|, <>, >&, &>, and >> redirection operators o using the exec builtin command to replace the shell with another command o adding or deleting builtin commands with the -f and -d options to the enable builtin command o using the enable builtin command to enable disabled shell builtins o specifying the -p option to the command builtin command o turning off restricted mode with set +r or set +o restricted. These restrictions are enforced after any startup files are read. When a command that is found to be a shell script is executed, rbash turns off any restrictions in the shell spawned to execute the script. SEE ALSO
