  • GNU Parallel, where have you been all my life?

    I didn't know about this, and reading through the comments, I found out that xargs can also do batching and parallelism (nice!). However, it appears that if you pipe the output of an xargs-parallel command into another utility, it jumbles the output of the multiple subprocesses, whereas GNU parallel does not.

    I was a little put off by the annoying/scary citation issue mentioned by another commenter, so I am not sure I will use parallel.

    I want to pipe the output of parallel processes into a utility that I wrote for progress printing (https://github.com/titzer/progress), but I think that neither of these solutions work; my progress utility will have to do this on its own.
