pueue VS croc

You can probably do a good subset it in bash, it's just a nicer interface with a lot of configurability and several convenience features.

I'm generally a big fan of showing alternatives: https://github.com/Nukesor/pueue/?tab=readme-ov-file#similar...

Would you be willing to write a proper guide on how to do all of these things in bash? It would be great to have this as guide an alternative inside the Pueue wiki and link to it. It'll help people to make a more informed decision on whether they need this tool or not.

there is a command line manager for long running tasks called Pueue. It is released into Nix, Arch, Alpine, Void, etc, but not for Debian based distros. I know that releasing into Debian is a bit more challenging, but I just wanted to ask if anybody here might be interested in packaging it. Just as a disclaimer, I am not the author of this project, just a regular user.

This one? https://github.com/Nukesor/pueue

How about this: https://github.com/Nukesor/pueue/? I have it bookmarked from a thread here from few years back and never got to test it eventually, but maybe it will serve your purposes?

Multiplexing is great for your multiple outputs, but I would highly recommend using pueue & pueued for job control. Lets you organize your background jobs into groups which can be paused, resumed, etc. Also lets you act on jobs from different terminals w/the pueue interface.

pueue -- a queue for tasks, running in background

For the command that takes a long time to complete, I always use pueue to run. This thing let you run multiple commands in order and can schedule the execution later which is really helpful to my workflow.

That said, you're basically building pueue. https://github.com/Nukesor/pueue/blob/main/ARCHITECTURE.md might give you some pointers. From reading it, there seems to be a mishmash of tokio stuff, and then everything gets serialised onto an MPSC channel (that's serviced by TaskHandler, on a single thread that's also responsible for polling for finished processes etc, every 200ms).

exchange for pueue and you can even queue them up.

This is the only one I know of: https://github.com/Nukesor/pueue

This very hn entries is bust contradicting your statement.

Also what about syncthing[1] (for recurrent/permanent sync) and croc[2] (for one time copies) ?

I have used both for a number of years already.

Check out croc, I've been using it for years, and it works pretty great too!

I'm trying to find very specific software.I need CLI(!!!) tool like Croc to share files using P2P, but it's very inconvenient to ask people to install same software as me(Croc in this case). Instead i want to get direct download URL, so anyone can download it just by using browser.

There’s already the excellent [croc](https://github.com/schollz/croc) which I’ve gotten all my friends to install and use.

croc works very well for this purpose: https://github.com/schollz/croc
