How can we run gcloud/gsutil/bq command for different accounts in parallel in one server?

I have installed gcloud/bq/gsutil command line tool in one linux server. And we have several accounts configured in this server.

**gcloud config configurations list**
NAME  IS_ACTIVE  ACCOUNT     PROJECT DEFAULT_ZONE  DEFAULT_REGION
gaa   True       [email protected]    a
gab  False       [email protected]    b

Now I have problem to both run gaa/gab in this server at same time. Because they have different access control on BigQuery and Cloud Stroage. I will use below commands (bq and gsutil commands):

  1. Set up account

    Gcloud config set account [email protected]

  2. Copy data from bigquery to Cloud

    bq extract --compression=GZIP --destination_format=NEWLINE_DELIMITED_JSON 'nl:82421.ga_sessions_20161219' gs://ga-data-export/82421/82421_ga_sessions_20161219_*.json.gz

  3. Download data from Cloud to local system

    gsutil -m cp gs://ga-data-export/82421/82421_ga_sessions_20161219*gz

If only run one account, it is not a problem. But there are several accounts need to run on one server at same time, I have no idea how to deal with this case.

Per the gcloud documentation on configurations, you can switch your active configuration via the --configuration flag for any gcloud command. However, gsutil does not have such a flag; you must set the environment variable CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME:

$ # Shell 1
$ export CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME=gaa
$ gcloud # ...
$ # Shell 2
$ export CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME=gab
$ gsutil # ...
