Even if you're using the ancient Bash version 3 (AFAIK only macOS still
uses it out of the box), about half the lines are unnecessary:

#!/bin/bash

SECONDS=0

for i in {1..4}
do
    psql -d mydb -f insert_txn${i}.sql &
done

wait

echo "Elapsed time: $SECONDS secs"


Read the bash man page to understand that SECONDS "magic", and why I
didn't bother with PIDs at all. I also fixed a variable-dereferencing
bug in your original script ("insert_txn[$i].sql" literally expands to
"insert_txn[1].sql", etc.)

This is the THIRD time you've asked the same question with minimal
rephrasing, and without clarifying details:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/AM0PR06MB4817A7035134FD88B2C1D033CC550%40AM0PR06MB4817.eurprd06.prod.outlook.com

If you weren't satisfied with the answers you got the first two times,
kindly be clear about what you're really looking for. Thanks much!

Re: OpenSSL@1.1 not getting linked with Homebrew - trying to install postgresql

My system is OS Mojave 10.14.6, I got homebrew from this command :

when I try to install postgresql with the command

brew install postgresql


I have this error:

    Error: An exception occurred within a child process:
      RuntimeError: /usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1 not present or broken
    Please reinstall openssl@1.1. Sorry :(


When I try to install openssl@1.1 I have this message:


Note that the error message is literally asking you to:


brew reinstall openssl@1.1


not:


brew install openssl@1.1


and not:


brew reinstall openssl


Do the reinstall and see if the postgresql formula works now. If it 
still doesn't work, the Homebrew discussions forum is a more appropriate 
place to follow up: https://github.com/Homebrew/discussions/discussions



Also:


brew link openssl@1.1


and all the exports you said you added to your .zshrc should not be 
needed, so you should:



brew unlink openssl@1.1


and revert all your additions.

Your icu4c installation is likely broken somehow. Try:


brew reinstall $(brew deps postgresql) postgresql


to reinstall PG and all its dependencies.

Re: bottom / top posting

To be pedantic, the preferred posting style seems in fact to be *inline 
trim-posting*, i.e.


* your responses are immediately below the text you're replying to, so 
the context is immediately apparent


* anything not relevant to your response is removed

Pure bottom-posting seems to be acceptable too, but if you're responding 
to multiple quotes, inline posting is *much* friendlier to the reader.
