This is not Fedora specific, so apologies for posting it here. I used to
post this kind of questions in comp.linux.misc or the like but I don't
have access to usenet groups anymore.
So here is the question. Suppose I have several processes that run
concurrently and each outputs stuff to stdout. Can the combined output be
intermingled?
Example: script ioTest.sh:
#!/bin/bash
i=0
while [ $i -lt 100 ];
do
echo "AAAAA" & # e.g. 500 As
echo "BBBBB" &
echo "CCCCC" &
i=$(($i+1))
done
Then
./ioTest.sh > out
The A's and B's and C's always seem to be in contiguous blocks of 500 in
the output file, but is that guaranteed?
Thanks!
