Settings

• commands - An array of commands to run, each deferred to: http://gruntjs.com/api/grunt.util#grunt.util.spawn

grunt.initConfig({
  parallel: {
    assets: [{
      grunt: true,
      args: ['requirejs']
    }, {
      grunt: true,
      args: ['compass']
    },{
      command: 'some-custom-shell-script.sh'
    }]
  }
});

One might target the task using grunt parallel:assets. This would run compass, requirejs, and a custom shell script at the same time, each logging to your console when they are done.
