     @nixCraft makes me realize that I neglected parallel an favorited xargs for maybe too long. Manpage of parallel is really quite extensive. Thx for the tip.

     @nixCraft My three favorite Bash parallelization methods are:
     1. Simply adding an & to the end of a command for processes that I don’t need to go review.
     2. Screen for simple parallel detached processes.
     3. Tmux for processes that need extensive manipulation somewhere in the process but can be backgrounded and I can work on other things.
