pueue VS breeze

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

I was trying to write something like Helix myself https://github.com/dpc/breeze but there's no way I can find enough time to make it feature complete. With helix, I can possibly contribute some things that I care about and have the core feature set already working.

There is Breeze (now unmaintatined) which was the closest thing to a perfect code editor I've ever seen. You could add it in case anyone wants to pick it up.
