I am trying to run a series of commands in parallel through xargs. I created a null section of commands in a file cmd_list.txt, and then tried to run them in parallel with 6 threads as follows:
cat cmd_list.txt | xargs -0 -P 6 -I % bash -c %
However, I get the following error:
bash: line 0: fg: no job control
I narrowed down the problem with the length of individual commands in the list of commands. Here is an example of an artificially-long image upload command:
mkdir a-very-long-folder-de090952623b4865c2c34bd6330f8a423ed05ed8de090952623b4865c2c34bd6330f8a423ed05ed8de090952623b4865c2c34bd6330f8a423ed05ed8
wget --no-check-certificate --no-verbose -O a-very-long-folder-de090952623b4865c2c34bd6330f8a423ed05ed8de090952623b4865c2c34bd6330f8a423ed05ed8de090952623b4865c2c34bd6330f8a423ed05ed8/blah.jpg http://d4u3lqifjlxra.cloudfront.net/uploads/example/file/48/accordion.jpg
Just running the command wgetyourself, without a list of files and without xargs, works great. However, executing this command on the bash command line (again, without a list of files) fails with no job control error:
echo "wget --no-check-certificate --no-verbose -O a-very-long-folder-de090952623b4865c2c34bd6330f8a423ed05ed8de090952623b4865c2c34bd6330f8a423ed05ed8de090952623b4865c2c34bd6330f8a423ed05ed8/blah.jpg http://d4u3lqifjlxra.cloudfront.net/uploads/example/file/48/accordion.jpg" | xargs -I % bash -c %
If I do not specify a long folder name and therefore shorten the command, it works fine:
echo "wget --no-check-certificate --no-verbose -O /tmp/blah.jpg http://d4u3lqifjlxra.cloudfront.net/uploads/example/file/48/accordion.jpg" | xargs -I % bash -c %
xargs -s (), , (, 16000) - . , , bash -c, :
bash -c "wget --no-check-certificate --no-verbose -O a-very-long-folder-de090952623b4865c2c34bd6330f8a423ed05ed8de090952623b4865c2c34bd6330f8a423ed05ed8de090952623b4865c2c34bd6330f8a423ed05ed8/blah.jpg http://d4u3lqifjlxra.cloudfront.net/uploads/example/file/48/accordion.jpg"
