I don't understand, you would like a delay between three and four and six and seven? Sleep would do that, but I think you want something else.


Edit: Do you want to run three as part of a loop and then maybe run the next three?

[Gyeah11]

I need to run 3 commands , after they finish the next 3 , because it is faster then one by one. and doesn`t need more resources .


thanks

Have a look at subshells and wait command in bash man pages.
