Run two processes in parallel one on adb and another on windows using cygwin

I want to run two programs one on adb and another on windows. But it should be done parallely and compare outputs of two.

I can use cygwin to do this sequencially:

for adb :

adb shell ./program1 > out1.txt

for windows :

./program2.exe >out2.txt

and then diff out1.txt out2.txt

run.sh file:

adb shell ./program1 > out1.txt
./program2.exe >out2.txt
out1.txt out2.txt

Above approach runs program on adb first , then on windows (Sequencially)

I want both programs to run in parallel and diff when both complete.

I need the approach to put one process in background as in linux : 

(adb shell ./program1 > out1.txt)  & (./program2.exe >out2.txt)

Is there any way to do this using CygWin?

Solution

  • I don't know cygwin but I guess something like this:

    adb shell ./program1 > out1.txt &
./program2.exe >out2.txt &
wait
diff ...

    I assume you are using a bash shell.
