Here is a screen-shot of running 10 sleep commands simultaneously. One of them is failed and others are succeeded.

As a quick start, you can use echo -e command. -e is for handing special characters like newline (= '\n') and so on.

• echo -e '1\ntwo\n3' | rinp -le sleep runs 3 sleep commands which 1 of them is failed and the other two are succeed.
• echo -e '1\n\n\n\n | rinp -le sleep runs only one sleep command, because newlines are ignored when they are just empty lines.

If you liked to see behind the scene then try using watch command as follows:
watch -n 1 -exec ps --forest -g -p process-id-of-your-terminal
for watching all the children of your Terminal every 1 second. You will face something like this:

This app is suitable for running muilt-lengthy commands that you do NOT want to see their outputs. I had a lot of .mp4 files that should be converted to .mp3. Of course I could use xargs with redirection (= &> /dev/null), but I also liked to see if the commands are failed or succeeded.
Plus practicing some advanced techniques in C and Linux Programming that I have learned and some tiny of UI/UX. I daily use it for:

ls *.mp4 | rinp -le ffmpeg -i {} {}.mp3

which converts mp4 files to .mp3s. Of course you can use it for cp or mv or anything you like. I also tried to add some comments to the code, so you can read it as an educational code.
