并行运行多进程的Bash脚本 | A srcipt for running processes in parallel in Bash

原文:http://pebblesinthesand.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/a-srcipt-for-running-processes-in-parallel-in-bash/

技巧是控制了最大并发数目,当前并发数过大时,等待有进程退出才开始下一个。

我现在正在写的脚本里正需要这个,借鉴过来


#!/bin/bash
NUM=0
QUEUE=""
MAX_NPROC=2 # default
REPLACE_CMD=0 # no replacement by default
USAGE="A simple wrapper for running processes in parallel.
Usage: `basename $0` [-h] [-r] [-j nb_jobs] command arg_list
-h Shows this help
-r Replace asterix * in the command string with argument
-j nb_jobs Set number of simultanious jobs [2]
Examples:
`basename $0` somecommand arg1 arg2 arg3
`basename $0` -j 3 \"somecommand -r -p\" arg1 arg2 arg3
`basename $0` -j 6 -r \"convert -scale 50% * small/small_*\" *.jpg"

function queue {
QUEUE="$QUEUE $1"

NUM=$(($NUM+1))
}

function regeneratequeue {
OLDREQUEUE=$QUEUE
QUEUE=""
NUM=0
for PID in $OLDREQUEUE
do
if [ -d /proc/$PID ] ; then
QUEUE="$QUEUE $PID"
NUM=$(($NUM+1))
fi
done
}

function checkqueue {
OLDCHQUEUE=$QUEUE
for PID in $OLDCHQUEUE
do
if [ ! -d /proc/$PID ] ; then
regeneratequeue # at least one PID has finished
break
fi
done
}

# parse command line
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then # must be at least one arg
echo "$USAGE" >&2
exit 1
fi

while getopts j:rh OPT; do # "j:" waits for an argument "h" doesnt
case $OPT in
h) echo "$USAGE"

exit 0 ;;
j) MAX_NPROC=$OPTARG ;;
r) REPLACE_CMD=1 ;;
\?) # getopts issues an error message
echo "$USAGE" >&2
exit 1 ;;
esac
done

# Main program
echo Using $MAX_NPROC parallel threads
shift `expr $OPTIND - 1` # shift input args, ignore processed args
COMMAND=$1
shift

for INS in $* # for the rest of the arguments
do
# DEFINE COMMAND
if [ $REPLACE_CMD -eq 1 ]; then
CMD=${COMMAND//"*"/$INS}
else
CMD="$COMMAND $INS" #append args
fi
echo "Running $CMD"

$CMD &
# DEFINE COMMAND END

PID=$!
queue $PID

while [ $NUM -ge $MAX_NPROC ]; do
checkqueue
sleep 0.4
done
done
wait # wait for all processes to finish before exit

This script will run multiple process in background concurrently, while the maximum number of running processed is under control. When there are already too many running processes, a new one will wait until one process finished.

I just need this trick in my project, so I copied it here.

(See codes above)

Determine Perspective Lines With Off-page Vanishing Point

In perspective drawing, a vanishing point represents a group of parallel lines, in other words, a direction. For any point on the paper, if we want a line towards the same direction (in the 3d space), we simply draw a line through it and the vanishing point. But sometimes the vanishing point is too far away, such that it is outside the paper/canvas. In this example, we have a point P and two perspective lines L1 and L2. The vanishing point VP is naturally the intersection of L1 and L2. The task is to draw a line through P and VP, without having VP on the paper. I am aware of a few traditional solutions: 1. Use extra pieces of paper such that we can extend L1 and L2 until we see VP. 2. Draw everything in a smaller scale, such that we can see both P and VP on the paper. Draw the line and scale everything back. 3. Draw a perspective grid using the Brewer Method. #1 and #2 might be quite practical. #3 may not guarantee a solution, unless we can measure distances/p...

Hardware Password Manager

[Updates 2025-01-20] The original blog post assumes that all passwords are stored in one password manager, and the password manager either unlocks everything or nothing (e.g. Keepass). After discussing with friends, I realized that if I use something like pass , and I use a hardware GPG token, I can actually store and sync all encrypted passwords to all devices, because I will only decrypt the passwords on demand, and the computer will not see the GPG private key. The compromise is that the computer will see the list of all password entries (e.g. accounts), as well as a few other issues . I've been using Keepass for many years. I don't use online password services because I cannot fully trust them. Besides, I may not always have Internet connection, which is why I also don't use a self-hosted service. Everything has been working fine, until I turn my paranoid knob to the max. Here's the thought experiment . The Imaginary Scenario Let's say I have 100 PCs for differe...

Installing Linux on Surface Pro 1g

Windows 10 will soon reach its end of life, and my 1-gen Surface Pro is not supported by Windows 11. I (finally) decided to install Linux to it. Fortunately, it's a not-so-easy nice adventure: The device has only one USB port, so I have to bring back my 10+-year old USB hub. My live USB drive cannot boot directly, I have to disable Secure Boot first, by holding Volume Up during boot. I think years ago I learned that booting on USB might not work through a USB hub, but fortunatelly it worked well with my setup. This is done by holding Volume Down during boot. Wifi adapter was detected in the live Linux environment, but not functional. And I don't have a USB-Ethernet adapter. Luckily, nowadays we have USB-tethering from Android phones, which works out-of-the-box. Originally I planned to following this guide to set up root on ZFS, however, the system froze when building the ZFS kernel module. Then I decided to just use EXT4, yet I still learned a lot from the guide about disk par...
