Run all shell scripts in folder

Question

I have many .sh scripts in a single folder and would like to run them one after another. A single script can be executed as:

bash wget-some_long_         


        

Answer 1

I ran into this problem where I couldn't use loops and run-parts works with cron.

Answer:

foo () {
    bash -H $1 
    #echo $1
    #cat $1
}
cd /dat/dat1/files #change directory
export -f foo #export foo
parallel foo ::: *.sh #equivalent to putting a & in between each script

You use GNU parallel, this executes everything in the directory, with the added buff of it happening at a lot faster rate. Not to mention it isn't just with script execution, you could put any command in the function and it'll work.
