Thanks everyone, but I was looking for something easier. With some more dragging around I found the best way to do it without too much complexity.
Adding the code below for reference.
This way when 7th process is trying to start, it waits until 6th is completed and so on .....
Not necessarily. You wait for the last background job you started to finish, but it might have already completed before you counted the number of running jobs. So you could have 7 jobs running concurrently instead of 6. Should we assume that for what you are doing the difference between running 6 or 7 jobs at once doesn't really matter?
