Hi, That's expected behavior at the moment. The reason is
Each interpreter has it's own scheduler (either FIFO, Parallel), and run-all just submit all paragraphs into target interpreter's scheduler. I think we can add feature such as run-all-sequentially. Do you mind file a JIRA issue? Thanks, moon On Thu, Apr 6, 2017 at 5:35 AM <murexconsult...@googlemail.com> wrote: > I often have notebooks that have a %sh as the 1st paragraph.
