Is there any way to execute two bash scripts without the first one blocking? The following does not work:
exec ./script1.sh #this blocks! exec ./script2.sh

The bash wait command is a Shell command that waits for background running processes to complete and returns the exit status. Unlike the sleep command, which waits for a specified time, the wait command waits for all or specific background tasks to finish.
Using wait. We can launch a script in the background initially and later wait for it to finish before executing another script using the wait command. This command works even if the process exits with a non-zero failure code.
bash [filename] runs the commands saved in a file. $@ refers to all of a shell script's command-line arguments. $1 , $2 , etc., refer to the first command-line argument, the second command-line argument, etc.
Put & at the end of the line.
./script1.sh & #this doesn't blocks! ./script2.sh If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
