Scrutinizer,
Thanks, that will simplify some other things as well. These sets do not always have the same number of instances and it is a pain to add logic to decide which instance doesn't get the & at the end of the call. That makes this hard to do in a loop.
DGPickett,
It sounds like you are going to read a file to figure out when a command has returned. I'm not sure how that would get integrated into this script. What would you be looking for in the log file to know that what ever you were running was finished? I though about checking for the existence of the last output file written by each instance, but those files exist along time before the app is done writing to them. For reference, the script I posted takes about 12 hours to finish.
