Wow, thanks Kovid, great to get an answer from the Man himself!
No, we have actually not tried it yet; just had the idea and before even trying we wanted to know if there was any known obstacle to it, to save some time; many apps don't support multiple instances, didn't know if this could be the case.
From your answer I understand that we should be able to run simultaneously as many ebook-convert instances as wished, providing the server has the needed resources and so on, right? So, a script with something as simple as the following:
ebook-convert file1.doc file1.pdf &
ebook-convert file2.txt file2.pdf &
ebook-convert file3.rtf file3.epub &
ebook-convert file4.doc file4.mobi &
would run four simultaneous conversion jobs, and end of the story, is that correct?
