Thanks.

What I was actually trying, was this:

echo a | while read ; do
  some_command &
done
wait

The "wait" did not wait. I guessed the reason was that "some_command
&" was executed in a subshell.

So I tried:

while read ; do
  some_command &
done < <(echo a)
wait

It was working, however not with #!/bin/sh
