How to convert this script so that it runs the dbv at most 5x at a time instead of serially?

Hi,

Attached is a generated script of the database files if/when we want to run dbv = dbverify.

The script runs fine by itself but it does take awhile to finish. In a worse case scenario, it can take up to 7 hours to finish as the dbv runs serially.

I need help and guidance to somehow have some parallelism in terms of running the dbv. For instance, I want to at least have 5xdbv running at some point in time. So for a start, run 5 of these dbv's, and then 'monitor' in the background if some has finished, then start more dbv until there's 5xdbv running again and so on and so forth.

As there are several databases on the same server, I cannot simply ps -ef | grep dbv to check for the number of dbv commands running. That is, I may have two of these scripts that I want to run for two different databases. So the 5xdbv run is for each database. If there is two of these scripts then there should be 10xdbv running at one time, 5 for each database.

Not sure where or how to start Smilie Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. BTW, prefers something that I can use on both Solaris and Linux

P.S.:
Belated Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to All.

NAME
trbdf - convert BDF-font from one encoding to other SYNOPSIS
trbdf -C | -l | -h trbdf [-s] [-f input-codeset ] [-t output-codeset ] [--foundry[=] new-foundry ] BDF-font DESCRIPTION
trbdf is a program for translation of BDF fonts from one encoding to other. One exciting feature of trbdf is that it tries to approximate the symbols that miss from the font or from the encoding of the font with existing symbols when possible. If the option -s or --gen-script is given trbdf will generate an awk(1) script for translation of BDF-fonts for fixed combination of input- codeset and output-codeset This is useful for faster convertion of many files. This script is used as filter. If none of -C, -s, -l, -h and their equivalents is given the BDF-font will be read assuming it is coded with codeset input-codeset On stan- dard output it will be recoded so to use codeset output-codeset Both input-codeset and output-codeset are case insensitive and default to `cp1251'. OPTIONS
-C, --copyright Display copying conditions and warranty information. -s, --gen-script Generates conversion script for given input and output encodings instead to convert BDF-font. This option is usefull if you have to convert many fonts. The generated script expects the input font from its standard input and outputs the converted font. -l, --list List all known codesets. -h, --help Display this help and exit. -f input-codeset, --from[=]input-codeset Codeset of the source font. -f output-codeset, --to[=]output-codeset Codeset of the generated font. --foundry[=]new-foundry Use this option if you want to change the foundry of the generated fonts.
