I made yesterday some tests on a Java server running on a linux machine. So I had to run the Java server and a policy server in background, then I had to stop them to change some things and then I then I started them again several times ( I will explain in my next article why I needed a policy server ) . Of course, after I repeated this operation many times, I got bored and I decided to simplify my work by creating a shell script and after some googling I found a way to run multiple background processes from a shell script.
