Let's consider that you want run a gdalwarp command to several tif files (*.tif), to perform a re-projection.
We have seen in the Transform a simple "for loop" in multicore "for loop" how to create a simple for loop and how to transform a simple for loop in a multicore loop using xargs .
Now let's suppose that we have a script called myscript4cluster.sh with inside gdalwarp command and that we want run this script by xargs.

 cd /data/ost4sem/exercise/basic_adv_gdalogr/fagus_sylvatica
 

Therefore, we create a script myscript4cluster.sh (saved to /home/user/ost4sem/exercise/basicadvgdalogr/fagus_sylvatica/) within the following code:

myscript4cluster.sh

file=$1
gdalwarp -r cubic -tr 0.008 0.008 -t_srs EPSG:4326 $file  proj_$file -overwrite

You can run myscript4cluster.sh with the following code

 ls 20?0_TSSP_IP-ENS-A2-SP20_43023435.tif  | xargs -n 1 -P 2  bash /home/user/ost4sem/exercise/basic_adv_gdalogr/fagus_sylvatica/myscript4cluster.sh

The -n option identifies the argument (in this case $1 renamed $file) used inside the myscript4cluster.sh script.
The -P option identifies the processors (in this case 2) used to run myscript4cluster.sh script.

If you run myscript4cluster.sh by the xargs command all the standard error are listed in chaotic order and is not easy to track back errors, especially when you process several files.
So, the good way is to create a log file that store all the error in a file, one for each processes.
In order to do this you have to modify the myscript4cluster.sh in the following order.

myscript4cluster.sh

export file=$1
time (
echo processing file $file
gdalwarp -r cubic -tr 0.008 0.008 -t_srs EPSG:4326 $file  proj_$file -overwrite
echo end of the sorting action of  file $file
) 2>&1 | tee  /tmp/log_of_$file".txt"

You may see the results of the log file:
