Sure, you can do that.

Please try to make your postings to john-users more useful to this
community.  When you ask just one quick question per message, requiring
me or someone else to post a similarly brief response, this can get
annoying to the many people reading this.  In case of the question
above, you could have simply tried things on your own instead of asking,
or alternatively you could have asked a more elaborate question right
away - e.g., how to run more than one instance of "john" best or how to
run them simultaneously.  And the answer to this would be to use the
"--session" option to give the different attacks different names, e.g.:

john --session=num --incremental=digits hash.txt

john --session=pwa --wordlist=password.lst --rules=all hash.txt

Technically, you can run these simultaneously in different terminal
windows, but without further tuning you'd end up overbooking your CPU
(or your GPU if you use the OpenCL format), which isn't optimal
(especially not for CPU; it can be fine for GPU).  What makes sense,
though, is to run one of these on CPU and the other on GPU, by using
different "--format" options.

It also makes sense to run these commands separately (not at the same
time), so that you can interrupt and continue these attacks separately
as well.
