I want to run a few commands, each of which doesn\'t quit until Ctrl-C is pressed. Is there something I can run to run all of them at once, and Ctrl-C will quit them all? Th

I am suggesting a much simpler utility I just wrote. It's currently called par, but will be renamed soon to either parl or pll, haven't decided yet.

API is as simple as:

par "script1.sh" "script2.sh" "script3.sh"

Prefixing commands can be done via:

par "PARPREFIX=[script1] script1.sh" "script2.sh" "script3.sh"
