Bash Script Async Curl Commands
#!/bin/bash
# when makeing a curl command you can call them asyncly and not have to wait for each one to finish.
# its very simple and took a bit to find by googling it. The searches turned up garbage until I
# stumbled on this solution.
# the '&' sign at the end is what make its run in its own space, daemon if you will
for ((i=0; i<30; i++)); do
curl -X 'POST' \
'https://some url' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-d '{
... some content
}' &
done
# then before you exit the script call wait
wait
# so that is it just add and '&' to your curl and then 'wait' at end of script
# I did this as the the parallel curl options did not work for me
