Apr 12, 2018 at 15:51 comment added arberg I tested with "${1}" and it doesn't work. I'm passing an array to the function, and apparently that needs special attention in bash. $! is the pid of the last spawned job, see tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/internalvariables.html It seems to work correctly in my tests, and I'm now using in the in unRAID cache_dirs script, and it seems to do its job. I'm using bash 4.4.12.

fixed childen -> children
Apr 11, 2018 at 12:40 comment added Alexander Mills the only concern I have with this script, is if children_pids+=("$!") is actually capturing the desired pid for the sub shell.

Apr 11, 2018 at 12:31 comment added Alexander Mills cool, I think for job in "${childen[@]}"; do should be for job in "${1}"; do though, for clarity
