Or no shell script is needed at all.

In the old days I used to string a bunch of jobs together using submit
and jcl........

But now maybe...

filename submit pipe "nohup.sh /apps/SAS/SAS_9.1/sas -nodms &dir./
sasprocess -log /directory/";

data _null_;
file submit;
run;

The question the O/P asked was how to run the jobs using parallel
processing while at the same time sticking to certain dependencies.

I thought the nohup would allow "parallely"
but it did not. A quick test showed
the jobs ran sequentially using multiple
filename submit pipe statements.

Back to thinking.....

Mark responsed via SAS-L

Hi Michelle, When running jobs asynchronously on a Unixsystem requires
two thing when running remotely,or if you plan on logging off, or only
one thingwhen you know the batch or user session will notdrop. i.e.
the nohup is named for the old daysprior to internet. Back when your
connection wasdial-up the nohup instructs Unix not to hang-upthe
connection even if it sees the connection lost.The other piece is to
tell Unix to run synchronouslyor asynchronously. This is done by
placing an &(ampersand) at the end of the command line whenyou want
the job to run separately from the currentshell and you are given your
prompt back immediatelyafter you execute the command. Try adding a
spacefollowed by an ampersand to the end of your commandstring. Hope
this is helpful. Mark TerjesonInvestment Business

Michelle responde to Mark,

Thanks for clearing that up Mark,

I did, and it worked. 2 jobs ran simultaneously,
or should I say, parallely. Ok, synchronously.

So Amar, it's up to your personal preference whether
to use shell script or try this instead. This will
eliminate the need for another separate process,
just add to your current processes.
