Execute commands parallel in a for loop ?
Hi,
please can someone point me in the right direction with a shell scripting problem.
I want to execute a command in a for loop and the command should be started not one-by-one meaning the for loop is waiting for the exit code , it should be started in parallel.
I have a plain text file where a hostname stands in each line.
#!/bin/bash
file="/tmp/serverlist"
for server in `cat $file` ; do
ssh admin@$server "command to run"
done
the problem is :
the command I execute with SSH takes approx. 10 minutes to complete.
I have to run the command on 145 servers and I dont want to wait 10 mins to go to the next. I want to execute it in parallel say on 10 servers at a time.
Any ideas ? simply putting a & after the SSH commands didnt work, nor with continue ?
thanks for your help again...

SSH-ARGV0(1) BSD General Commands Manual SSH-ARGV0(1)
NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling
SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command]
hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name]
[-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command]
DESCRIPTION
ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is
