| #### D.2.7.5 parallelTestOR Procedure from library `parallel.lib` (see parallel_lib). Usage: parallelTestOR(commands, arguments[, timeout]); commands list or string, arguments list, timeout int Return: 1, if commands[i] applied to arguments[i] is not equal to zero for any i = 1, ..., size(arguments); 0, otherwise. An optional timeout in ms can be provided. Default is 0 which disables the timeout. In case of timeout, -1 is returned. Note: The entries of the list commands must be strings. The entries of the list arguments must be lists. commands[i] applied to arguments[i] must evaluate to an integer for i = 1, ..., size(arguments). As a shortcut, `commands` can be a string. This is synonymous to providing a list of `size(arguments)` copies of this string. Example:
    LIB "parallel.lib";
    ring R = 0, (x,y,z), dp;
    ideal I;
    string s;
    list l;
    module m1 = x*gen(1);
    module m2;
    string command = "size";
    list arguments1 = list(list(I), list(s), list(l), list(m1));
    list arguments2 = list(list(I), list(s), list(l), list(m2));
    // test if any of the arguments has non-zero size
    parallelTestOR(command, arguments1);
    ==> 1
    parallelTestOR(command, arguments2);
    ==> 0
