Running multiple Python scripts in parallel using bash

To run multiple Python scripts in parallel using bash, you can utilize the & operator to start each script in the background. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:

1. Open a text editor and create a new bash script file, for example, run_scripts.sh.
2. Add the following code to the script file, specifying the Python scripts you want to run:

bashCopy code
#!/bin/bash



python script1.py &

python script2.py &

python script3.py &

# Add more scripts as needed



wait

1. Save the file and make it executable. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:

bashCopy code
chmod +x run_scripts.sh

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where the run_scripts.sh file is located.
2. Run the bash script by executing the following command:

bashCopy code
./run_scripts.sh

This will start each Python script in the background using the & operator. The wait command ensures that the script waits for all the background processes to finish before exiting.

Make sure to replace script1.py, script2.py, script3.py, and any subsequent scripts with the actual filenames of your Python scripts.

Note: Running scripts in parallel can consume a significant amount of system resources, especially if the scripts are resource-intensive. Make sure your system can handle the load and adjust the number of scripts running in parallel accordingly.
