title: How to start multiple processes in Bash
body: <p>I want to start 100 processes in <code>bash</code>, but the <code>for</code> statement doesn't seems to like the <code>&amp;</code> symbol and I'm getting a syntax error, here is what I have so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo "Spawning 100 processes"
  for i in {1..100}
  do
      ./my_script.py &amp;
  done
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I was copypasting this code, that's why the <code>&amp;</code> char was illegal.</p>
