Run same suite with different resource file args about pabot HOT 5 CLOSED

Is this an enhancement for when executing additional tags pointed to other files?
{code} pabot --include smoke Tests/tests.txt --processes 10 tests {code}

I don't think so. What I mean here is to execute same suite multiple times when some resource file arguments change.. For example if you have multiple configurations that should work.

+1 here as well. I am running multiple configurations in parallel for crossbrowser testing using Sauce Labs, and have also just added pabot to run the test suites in parallel. It's a little difficult to have to manage both those axes of parallelism two different ways. I've ended up writing a big ol' bash script wrapper to integrate robot with our CI suite that:

1. Runs a singleton SUT setup set of robot tests, for stuff like starting services and seeding data into the test system.
2. Reads in a list of platform configs to run the tests on (activated by command line option)
3. Loops through those, running each platform config with pabot (activated by command line option) separately
4. Runs each separate pabot run in parallel in the background
5. Waits for all of the pabot runs to return
6. Runs a singleton SUT teardown script to "leave no trace"
7. Rebots all the outputs together (for the platform configs, pabot does this for the test suites)

This juggles both axes of parallelization - I have 6 Sauce VMs (and it queues pretty well) but only 4 cores on my local box, so handling both in separate ways leads to a lot of fiddling. But also you end up needing tests that aren't part of the parallel runs for the SUT setup/teardown.
