Command-line options
--verbose
more output from the parallel execution
--command [ACTUAL COMMANDS TO START ROBOT EXECUTOR] --end-command
RF script for situations where pybot is not used directly
--processes [NUMBER OF PROCESSES]
How many parallel executors to use (default max of 2 and cpu count)
--pabotlib
Start PabotLib remote server. This enables locking and resource distribution between parallel test executions.
--pabotlibhost [HOSTNAME]
This enables sharing a resource with multiple Robot Framework instances.
--pabotlibport [PORT]
Port number of the PabotLib remote server (default is 8270) See --pabotlibhost for more information
--resourcefile [FILEPATH]
Indicator for a file that can contain shared variables for distributing resources. This needs to be used together with pabotlib option. Resource file syntax is same as Windows ini files. Where a section is a shared set of variables.
--argumentfile[INTEGER] [FILEPATH]
Run same suites with multiple argumentfile options. For example:
--suitesfrom [FILEPATH TO OUTPUTXML]

PabotLib
pabot.PabotLib provides keywords that will help communication and data sharing between the executor processes. These can be helpful when you must ensure that only one of the processes uses some piece of data or operates on some part of the system under test at a time.

I tried Pabot Library running two mobile test in parallel one iPhone 7 Plus and another Nexus One and both test executed in parallel using this command in the Pycharm terminal fine..! So far I'm very pleased with this Library. Thank you for posting such automation greatness!
