Parallel processing and error checking

Hi,
I need to run multiple scripts in parallel. The scripts needs to ensure that x scripts are always running. I trigger 6 jobs in parallel, as soon as one finishes it triggers the next one, but id something fails it should stop processing any further jobs. I was able to get hold of a script which helped me in first part, but not sure how to handle the error tracking. I do not have GNU parallel Smilie

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
PROCS=6
SLEEP=20
while read LINE
do
     while true
     do
         NUM=$(jobs | wc -l)
         echo NUM=$NUM
         if [ $NUM -lt $PROCS ]
         then
             stuff "$LINE" &
             break
         else
             sleep $SLEEP
         fi
    done
done < textfile
# wait for ALL remaining processes
wait

So above ensures 6 processes are always running. I want a way to find out if one of the process is failed, then do not trigger anymore jobs.

Thanks
