Running Multiple Bash Scripts parallel [duplicate]

Question

I want to run multiple bash scripts in parallel.

example of my script running : ./test1.sh $1 and ./test2.sh $1

I tried this: parallel ::: "~/path/test1.sh $1" "~/path/test2.sh $1"

Not working properly, any idea how to fix this?

You could use xargs:
echo "~/path/test1.sh $1 ~/path/test2.sh $1" | xargs -P0 -n2 /bin/bash

-P0 says "run all in parallel"
-n2 passes two arguments to /bin/bash, in this case the script and the parameter

It's showing ~/path/test1.sh no such file or directory.

you need to put the path to your script

Given the correct path.
