How to run multiple functions in Background in UNIX Shell Scripting?
Hi DGPickett/Unix tech experts,
Thanks for the idea given, the export is used for the child process to use the variable that i am able to understand, one small query i can use sleep instead of wait but whether the delay is necessary to use ? i need to the function to run in background and return to case for other options. I am currently testing the script will get back if there is any issue.
Thanks,
Regards,
Karthikram
