[SLL] multi-threading

[Paul A. Franz, P.E.]

I have a script that I'd like to speed up. The problem is that it queries several
hundred different hosts sequentially waiting for the response. I would like to launch
these requests in batches of say 6, or multiples of 6 all at once. I don't need the
results of one query in order to do the next one.

Is there some simple way to launch multiple processes from within a bash script?
