Bug Description

The example for multiple processes should read

    bonnie++ -p3
    bonnie++ -y s > out1 & # requires bonnie++ -pN to be run
    bonnie++ -y s > out2 &
    bonnie++ -y s > out3 &

because `bonnie++ -y` doesn't work alone and it's not clear from the example that the commands need to be run in order (although it's clear from the manpage).
