Script to run command one by one
Hi,

I have run a lot of commands one after one,
but I can't run them simultaneous.
One command has to run and when finished second command has to run etc.
Also I would like to save all the outputs created by the commands in a file.
The commands can sometimes take hours, so it is also necessary to run them in the background or the whole script.
I am running bash shell.
The commands are very long, so I put them in these files: cmd1, cdm2, cmd3 etc
SO what I need is that the scripts runs and executes cmd1 and when finished , execute cmd2 etc.
This is what I got so far:

Code:
#! /bin/bash

# run commands in sequence

echo "Running cmd1"
sh cmd1 > output.txt 2>&1

wait

echo "Running cmd2"
sh cmd2 >> output.txt 2>&1


wait

echo "Running cmd3"
sh cmd3 >> output.txt 2>&1


echo " Scripts are finished !!"

Is it possible that the script itself fills in the number for the cmd files?
for example it will start with cmd1 and then cmd2 etc and stop until it can't find more?

yum-shell

yum(8)																	    yum(8)

NAME

       yum - Yellowdog Updater Modified shell

SYNOPSIS

       yum shell [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       yum includes an interactive shell for conducting multiple commands or sets of commands during a single execution of yum. These commands can
       be issued manually or passed to yum from a file. The commands are much the same as the normal yum command line options. See here yum(8) for
       that information. There are a few additional commands documented below.

       config
		 [argument] [value]
		 args: debuglevel, errorlevel, obsoletes, gpgcheck, assumeyes, exclude
		   If no value is given it prints the current value.
		   If value is given it sets that value.

       repo
		 [argument] [option]
		   list: lists repositories and their status
		   enable: enable repositories. option = repository id
		   disable: disable repositories. option = repository id

       transaction
		 [argument]
		   list: lists the contents of the transaction
		   reset: reset (zero-out) the transaction
		   solve: run the dependency solver on the transaction
		   run: run the transaction

Examples
       The following are examples of using the yum shell.

	       list available packagename*
	       groupinfo 'Some Group'
	       install foo
	       remove bar
	       update baz
	       run

	      That  will  list	available packages matching the glob 'packagename*'.  It will return information on the group 'Some Group' It will
	      then queue the following commands into  the transaction: install foo, remove bar, update baz. Then the 'run'  command  will  resolve
	      dependencies for the transaction commands and run the transaction.
