Execute subshells after parallel is called

[Clyde Jones]

Hi

 I am not sure how to do this properly - when I pipe a command to parallel, execution of any subshells parallel's execution string happen before parallel operates on each item.  

How do I have parallel execute after each is called?

e.g. 

seq 10 | parallel "echo `openssl rand -hex 6`-`openssl rand -hex 6` {}"

25fbef1c2172-e9c650de7711 2

25fbef1c2172-e9c650de7711 3

25fbef1c2172-e9c650de7711 4

25fbef1c2172-e9c650de7711 5

25fbef1c2172-e9c650de7711 6

25fbef1c2172-e9c650de7711 7

25fbef1c2172-e9c650de7711 8

25fbef1c2172-e9c650de7711 9

25fbef1c2172-e9c650de7711 10

Where I'd expect to see something like this:

for q in $(seq 10) ; do echo `openssl rand -hex 6`-`openssl rand -hex 6`; done

If I run the command directly, I get the expected behaviour, but I want to be able to build up strings.

Thanks
