You need to run the 'scanimage' commands in the background. For Example: scanimage -d $dev1 --format pnm > scan-dev1.pnm & scanimage -d $dev2 --format pnm > scan-dev2.pnm & scanimage -d $dev3 --format pnm > scan-dev3.pnm & scanimage -d $dev4 --format pnm > scan-dev4.pnm & wait If your scanners are on different hosts then you can run saned to allow a central point to start all scans, still in the background, and wait for them all to finish.
