[GLLUG] Questions about shell scripting

[David Lee Lambert]

2 quick questions:

1:  Is it possible to run a shell function in the background with "&"?

2:  What's a good idiom for starting several jobs in the background,  then
waiting for them all to complete,  returning nonzero and printing an error
if any of them fail?
