Hello Jirka,

If I may suggest this slightly verbose shell script (attached) - it should do 
what you want (sending output to multiple processes)
while still allowing tight control over each background process, and also 
collecting their results in an organized fashion
(ie keeping stdout,stderr,exitcode in a file for each test) - making further 
diagnosis much easier.

if there's a need to combine the outputs from all the tests (e.g. to find the smallest 
p-value from all tests) -  it's just a matter of "cat *.out" once
all the tests are done.

Note that this does not solve the "--no-stdout" issue - just the ">()" part. It should 
also make the shell script portable (except using GNU tee's "-p" parameter).

The output should be:

    tee: standard output: Bad file descriptor
    == Test 1 exited with code 0 ==
    == Test 1 STDOUT ==
    104857600
    == Test 2 exited with code 0 ==
    == Test 2 STDOUT ==
    1
    == Test 3 exited with code 1 ==
    == Test 3 STDOUT ==
    == Test 3 STDERR ==
    wc: unrecognized option '--foo'
    Try 'wc --help' for more information.
    == Test 4 exited with code 0 ==
    == Test 4 STDOUT ==
    32768
    ==
    Test results stored in /tmp/tmp.esLAoUxeLQ


Comments and corrections welcomed.

Hope this helps,
