parallelshell
Advanced tools
This is a super simple npm moudle to run shell commands in parallel. All processes will share the same stdout/stderr, and if any command exits with a non-zero exit status, the rest are stopped and the exit code carries through.
Simply run the following to install this to your project:
npm i --save-dev parallelshell
Or, to install it globally, run:
npm i -g parallelshell
To use the command, simply call it with a set of strings - which correspond to shell arguments, for example:
parallelshell "echo 1" "echo 2" "echo 3"
This will execute the commands echo 1 echo 2 and echo 3 simultaneously.
Note that on Windows, you need to use double-quotes to avoid confusing the argument parser.
