Options

`-n, --names`

List of custom names to be used in prefix template.

`-c, --continue-on-error`

Set the flag to continue executing other/subsequent tasks even if a task threw an error. in-parallel itself will exit with non-zero code if one or more tasks threw error(s).

$ in-parallel -c "<command that fails>" "ping 127.0.0.1 -c 2"

# Prints:
# -------

`--max-parallel`

Set the maximum number of parallelism. Default is unlimited (0).

$ in-parallel --max-parallel 1 "ping google.com -c 2" "ping 127.0.0.1 -c 2"

# Prints:

`--aggregate-output`

Avoid interleaving output by delaying printing of each command's output until it has finished.

$ in-parallel --aggregate-output "ping google.com -c 2" "ping 127.0.0.1 -c 2"
