task spooler 0.5 (Default branch) |
|
|
task spooler is a Unix batch system where the
tasks spooled run one after the other. Each user
in each system has his own job queue. The tasks
are run in the correct context (that of enqueue)
from any shell/process, and its output/results can
be easily watched. It is very useful when you know
that your commands depend on a lot of RAM, a lot
of disk use, give a lot of output, or for whatever
reason it's better not to run them at the same time.

Changes:
This release is mostly bugfixes. It now creates a new session for each program run, so the program PID identifies a whole process group (allowing "kill -- -`ts -p`"). The tail command (-t) has been renewed, so it finishes when the job finishes, similar to -w.
