parallel: Fixed bug #42842: --bar with weird chars. Fixed bug #42845: rsync 3.1.x fails against 2.5.7.

Give warning if reading arguments (for --eta/--bar) takes > 30 sec.
A few more characters annoy tmux.

niceload - slow down a program when the load average is above a certain limit
@node SYNOPSIS
@chapter SYNOPSIS
@strong{niceload} [-v] [-h] [-n nice] [-I io] [-L load] [-M mem] [-N]
[--sensor program] [-t time] [-s time|-f factor] ( command | -p PID [-p PID ...] )
@node DESCRIPTION
@chapter DESCRIPTION
GNU @strong{niceload} will slow down a program when the load average (or
other system activity) is above a certain limit. When the limit is
reached the program will be suspended for some time. Then resumed
again for some time. Then the load average is checked again and we
start over.
Instead of load average @strong{niceload} can also look at disk I/O, amount
of free memory, or swapping activity.
If the load is 3.00 then the default settings will run a program
like this:
run 1 second, suspend (3.00-1.00) seconds, run 1 second, suspend
(3.00-1.00) seconds, run 1 second, ...
@node OPTIONS
@chapter OPTIONS
@table @asis
@item @strong{-f} @emph{FACTOR}
@anchor{@strong{-f} @emph{FACTOR}}
@item @strong{--factor} @emph{FACTOR}
@anchor{@strong{--factor} @emph{FACTOR}}
Suspend time factor. Dynamically set @strong{-s} as amount over limit *
factor. Default is 1.
@item @strong{-H}
@anchor{@strong{-H}}
@item @strong{--hard}
@anchor{@strong{--hard}}
Hard limit. @strong{--hard} will suspend the process until the system is
under the limits. The default is @strong{--soft}.
@item @strong{--io} @emph{iolimit}
@anchor{@strong{--io} @emph{iolimit}}
@item @strong{-I} @emph{iolimit}
@anchor{@strong{-I} @emph{iolimit}}
Limit for I/O. The amount of disk I/O will be computed as a value 0 -
10, where 0 is no I/O and 10 is at least one disk is 100% saturated.
@strong{--io} will set both @strong{--start-io} and @strong{run-io}.
@item @strong{--load} @emph{loadlimit}
@anchor{@strong{--load} @emph{loadlimit}}
@item @strong{-L} @emph{loadlimit}
@anchor{@strong{-L} @emph{loadlimit}}
Limit for load average.
@strong{--load} will set both @strong{--start-load} and @strong{run-load}.
@item @strong{--mem} @emph{memlimit}
@anchor{@strong{--mem} @emph{memlimit}}
@item @strong{-M} @emph{memlimit}
@anchor{@strong{-M} @emph{memlimit}}
Limit for free memory. This is the amount of bytes available as free
+ cache. This limit is treated opposite other limits: If the system
is above the limit the program will run, if it is below the limit the
program will stop
@emph{memlimit} can be postfixed with K, M, G, T, or P which would
multiply the size with 1024, 1048576, 1073741824, or 1099511627776
respectively.
@strong{--mem} will set both @strong{--start-mem} and @strong{run-mem}.
@item @strong{--noswap}
@anchor{@strong{--noswap}}
@item @strong{-N}
@anchor{@strong{-N}}
No swapping. If the system is swapping both in and out it is a good
indication that the system is memory stressed.
@strong{--noswap} is over limit if the system is swapping both in and out.
@strong{--noswap} will set both @strong{--start-noswap} and @strong{run-noswap}.
@item @strong{-n} @emph{niceness}
@anchor{@strong{-n} @emph{niceness}}
@item @strong{--nice} @emph{niceness}
@anchor{@strong{--nice} @emph{niceness}}
Sets niceness. See @strong{nice}(1).
@item @strong{-p} @emph{PID} (alpha testing)
@anchor{@strong{-p} @emph{PID} (alpha testing)}
@item @strong{--pid} @emph{PID} (alpha testing)
@anchor{@strong{--pid} @emph{PID} (alpha testing)}
Process ID of process to suspend. You can specify multiple process IDs
with multiple @strong{-p} @emph{PID}.
@item @strong{--prg} @emph{program} (alpha testing)
@anchor{@strong{--prg} @emph{program} (alpha testing)}
@item @strong{--program} @emph{program} (alpha testing)
@anchor{@strong{--program} @emph{program} (alpha testing)}
Name of running program to suspend. You can specify multiple programs
with multiple @strong{--prg} @emph{program}.
@item @strong{--quote}
@anchor{@strong{--quote}}
@item @strong{-q}
@anchor{@strong{-q}}
Quote the command line. Useful if the command contains chars like *,
$, >, and " that should not be interpreted by the shell.
@item @strong{--run-io} @emph{iolimit}
@anchor{@strong{--run-io} @emph{iolimit}}
@item @strong{--ri} @emph{iolimit}
@anchor{@strong{--ri} @emph{iolimit}}
@item @strong{--run-load} @emph{loadlimit}

@anchor{@strong{--rl} @emph{loadlimit}}
@item @strong{--run-mem} @emph{memlimit}
@anchor{@strong{--run-mem} @emph{memlimit}}
@item @strong{--rm} @emph{memlimit}
@anchor{@strong{--rm} @emph{memlimit}}
Run limit. The running program will be slowed down if the system is
above the limit. See: @strong{--io}, @strong{--load}, @strong{--mem}, @strong{--noswap}.
@item @strong{--sensor} @emph{sensor program} (alpha testing)
@anchor{@strong{--sensor} @emph{sensor program} (alpha testing)}
Read sensor. Use @emph{sensor program} to read a sensor.
This will keep the CPU temperature below 80 deg C on GNU/Linux:
@verbatim
niceload -l 80000 -f 0.001 --sensor 'sort -n /sys/devices/platform/coretemp*/temp*_input' gzip *
@end verbatim
This will stop if the disk space < 100000.
@verbatim
niceload -H -l -100000 --sensor "df . | awk '{ print \$4 }'" echo
@end verbatim
@item @strong{--start-io} @emph{iolimit}
@anchor{@strong{--start-io} @emph{iolimit}}
@item @strong{--si} @emph{iolimit}
@anchor{@strong{--si} @emph{iolimit}}

@item @strong{--sl} @emph{loadlimit}
@anchor{@strong{--sl} @emph{loadlimit}}
@item @strong{--start-mem} @emph{memlimit}
@anchor{@strong{--start-mem} @emph{memlimit}}
@item @strong{--sm} @emph{memlimit}
@anchor{@strong{--sm} @emph{memlimit}}
Start limit. The program will not start until the system is below the
limit. See: @strong{--io}, @strong{--load}, @strong{--mem}, @strong{--noswap}.
@item @strong{--soft}
@anchor{@strong{--soft}}
@item @strong{-S}
@anchor{@strong{-S}}
Soft limit. @strong{niceload} will suspend a process for a while and then
let it run for a second thus only slowing down a process while the
system is over one of the given limits. This is the default.
@item @strong{--suspend} @emph{SEC}
@anchor{@strong{--suspend} @emph{SEC}}
@item @strong{-s} @emph{SEC}
@anchor{@strong{-s} @emph{SEC}}
Suspend time. Suspend the command this many seconds when the max load
average is reached.
@item @strong{--recheck} @emph{SEC}
@anchor{@strong{--recheck} @emph{SEC}}
@item @strong{-t} @emph{SEC}
@anchor{@strong{-t} @emph{SEC}}
Recheck load time. Sleep SEC seconds before checking load
again. Default is 1 second.
@item @strong{--verbose}
@anchor{@strong{--verbose}}
@item @strong{-v}
@anchor{@strong{-v}}
Verbose. Print some extra output on what is happening. Use @strong{-v} until
you know what your are doing.
@end table
@node EXAMPLE: See niceload in action
@chapter EXAMPLE: See niceload in action
In terminal 1 run: top
In terminal 2 run:
@strong{niceload -q perl -e '$|=1;do@{$l==$r or print "."; $l=$r@}until(($r=time-$^T)}>@strong{50)'}
This will print a '.' every second for 50 seconds and eat a lot of
CPU. When the load rises to 1.0 the process is suspended.
@node EXAMPLE: Run updatedb
@chapter EXAMPLE: Run updatedb
Running updatedb can often starve the system for disk I/O and thus result in a high load.
Run updatedb but suspend updatedb if the load is above 2.00:
@strong{niceload -L 2 updatedb}
@node EXAMPLE: Run rsync
@chapter EXAMPLE: Run rsync
rsync can just like updatedb starve the system for disk I/O and thus result in a high load.
Run rsync but keep load below 3.4. If load reaches 7 sleep for
(7-3.4)*12 seconds:
@strong{niceload -L 3.4 -f 12 rsync -Ha /home/ /backup/home/}
@node EXAMPLE: Ensure enough disk cache
@chapter EXAMPLE: Ensure enough disk cache
Assume the program @strong{foo} uses 2 GB files intensively. @strong{foo} will run
fast if the files are in disk cache and be slow as a crawl if they are
not in the cache.
To ensure 2 GB are reserved for disk cache run:
@strong{niceload --hard --run-mem 2g foo}
This will not guarantee that the 2 GB memory will be used for the
files for @strong{foo}, but it will stop @strong{foo} if the memory for disk cache
is too low.
@node ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
@chapter ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
None. In future versions $NICELOAD will be able to contain default settings.
@node EXIT STATUS
@chapter EXIT STATUS
Exit status should be the same as the command being run (untested).

sem - semaphore for executing shell command lines in parallel
@node SYNOPSIS
@chapter SYNOPSIS
@strong{sem} [--fg] [--id <id>] [--timeout <secs>] [-j <num>] [--wait] command
@node DESCRIPTION
@chapter DESCRIPTION
GNU @strong{sem} is an alias for GNU @strong{parallel --semaphore}.
It works as a tool for executing shell commands in parallel. GNU
@strong{sem} acts as a counting semaphore. When GNU @strong{sem} is called with
command it will start the command in the background. When @emph{num}
number of commands are running in the background, GNU @strong{sem} will wait
for one of these to complete before starting another command.
Before looking at the options you may want to check out the examples
after the list of options. That will give you an idea of what GNU
@strong{sem} is capable of.
@node OPTIONS
@chapter OPTIONS
@table @asis
@item @emph{command}
@anchor{@emph{command}}
Command to execute. The command may be followed by arguments for the command.
@item @strong{--bg}
@anchor{@strong{--bg}}
Run command in background thus GNU @strong{parallel} will not wait for
completion of the command before exiting. This is the default.
See also: @strong{--fg}
@item @strong{-j} @emph{N}
@anchor{@strong{-j} @emph{N}}
Run up to N commands in parallel. Default is 1 thus acting like a
mutex.

@anchor{@strong{--max-procs} @emph{+N}}
@item @strong{-P} @emph{+N}
@anchor{@strong{-P} @emph{+N}}
Add N to the number of CPU cores. Run up to this many jobs in
parallel. For compute intensive jobs @strong{-j} +0 is useful as it will run
number-of-cpu-cores jobs simultaneously.
@item @strong{--jobs} @emph{-N}

@item @strong{--max-procs} @emph{-N}
@anchor{@strong{--max-procs} @emph{-N}}
@item @strong{-P} @emph{-N}
@anchor{@strong{-P} @emph{-N}}

@item @strong{--semaphorename} @emph{name}
@anchor{@strong{--semaphorename} @emph{name}}

@anchor{@strong{--id} @emph{name}}
Use @strong{name} as the name of the semaphore. Default is the name of the
controlling tty (output from @strong{tty}).
The default normally works as expected when used interactively, but
when used in a script @emph{name} should be set. @emph{$$} or @emph{my_task_name}
are often a good value.
The semaphore is stored in ~/.parallel/semaphores/

@node EXAMPLE: Protecting pod2html from itself
@chapter EXAMPLE: Protecting pod2html from itself
pod2html creates two files: pod2htmd.tmp and pod2htmi.tmp which it
does not clean up. It uses these two files for a short time. But if
you run multiple pod2html in parallel (e.g. in a Makefile with make
-j) you need to protect pod2html from running twice at the same
time. @strong{sem} running as a mutex will do just that:
@verbatim
sem --fg --id pod2html pod2html foo.pod > foo.html
sem --fg --id pod2html rm -f pod2htmd.tmp pod2htmi.tmp

sql - execute a command on a database determined by a dburl
@node SYNOPSIS
@chapter SYNOPSIS
@strong{sql} [options] @emph{dburl} [@emph{commands}]
@strong{sql} [options] @emph{dburl} < commandfile
@strong{#!/usr/bin/sql} @strong{--shebang} [options] @emph{dburl}
@node DESCRIPTION
@chapter DESCRIPTION
GNU @strong{sql} aims to give a simple, unified interface for accessing
databases through all the different databases' command line
clients. So far the focus has been on giving a common way to specify
login information (protocol, username, password, hostname, and port
number), size (database and table size), and running queries.
The database is addressed using a DBURL. If @emph{commands} are left out
you will get that database's interactive shell.
GNU @strong{sql} is often used in combination with GNU @strong{parallel}.
@table @asis
@item @emph{dburl}
@anchor{@emph{dburl}}
A DBURL has the following syntax:
[sql:]vendor://
[[user][:password]@@][host][:port]/[database][?sqlquery]
See the section DBURL below.
@item @emph{commands}
@anchor{@emph{commands}}
The SQL commands to run. Each argument will have a newline
appended.
Example: "SELECT * FROM foo;" "SELECT * FROM bar;"
If the arguments contain '\n' or '\x0a' this will be replaced with a
newline:
Example: "SELECT * FROM foo;\n SELECT * FROM bar;"
If no commands are given SQL is read from the keyboard or STDIN.
Example: echo 'SELECT * FROM foo;' | sql mysql:///
@item @strong{--db-size}
@anchor{@strong{--db-size}}
@item @strong{--dbsize}
@anchor{@strong{--dbsize}}
Size of database. Show the size of the database on disk. For Oracle
this requires access to read the table @emph{dba_data_files} - the user
@emph{system} has that.
@item @strong{--help}
@anchor{@strong{--help}}
@item @strong{-h}
@anchor{@strong{-h}}
Print a summary of the options to GNU @strong{sql} and exit.
@item @strong{--html}
@anchor{@strong{--html}}
HTML output. Turn on HTML tabular output.
@item @strong{--show-processlist}
@anchor{@strong{--show-processlist}}
@item @strong{--proclist}
@anchor{@strong{--proclist}}
@item @strong{--listproc}
@anchor{@strong{--listproc}}
Show the list of running queries.
@item @strong{--show-databases}
@anchor{@strong{--show-databases}}
@item @strong{--showdbs}
@anchor{@strong{--showdbs}}
@item @strong{--list-databases}
@anchor{@strong{--list-databases}}
@item @strong{--listdbs}
@anchor{@strong{--listdbs}}
List the databases (table spaces) in the database.
@item @strong{--show-tables}
@anchor{@strong{--show-tables}}
@item @strong{--list-tables}
@anchor{@strong{--list-tables}}
@item @strong{--table-list}
@anchor{@strong{--table-list}}
List the tables in the database.
@item @strong{--noheaders}
@anchor{@strong{--noheaders}}
@item @strong{--no-headers}
@anchor{@strong{--no-headers}}
@item @strong{-n}
@anchor{@strong{-n}}
Remove headers and footers and print only tuples. Bug in Oracle: it
still prints number of rows found.
@item @strong{-p} @emph{pass-through}
@anchor{@strong{-p} @emph{pass-through}}
The string following -p will be given to the database connection
program as arguments. Multiple -p's will be joined with
space. Example: pass '-U' and the user name to the program:
@emph{-p "-U scott"} can also be written @emph{-p -U -p scott}.
@item @strong{-r}
@anchor{@strong{-r}}
Try 3 times. Short version of @emph{--retries 3}.
@item @strong{--retries} @emph{ntimes}
@anchor{@strong{--retries} @emph{ntimes}}
Try @emph{ntimes} times. If the client program returns with an error,
retry the command. Default is @emph{--retries 1}.
@item @strong{--sep} @emph{string}
@anchor{@strong{--sep} @emph{string}}
@item @strong{-s} @emph{string}
@anchor{@strong{-s} @emph{string}}
Field separator. Use @emph{string} as separator between columns.
@item @strong{--skip-first-line}
@anchor{@strong{--skip-first-line}}
Do not use the first line of input (used by GNU @strong{sql} itself
when called with @strong{--shebang}).
@item @strong{--table-size}
@anchor{@strong{--table-size}}
@item @strong{--tablesize}
@anchor{@strong{--tablesize}}
Size of tables. Show the size of the tables in the database.
@item @strong{--verbose}
@anchor{@strong{--verbose}}
@item @strong{-v}
@anchor{@strong{-v}}
Print which command is sent.
@item @strong{--version}
@anchor{@strong{--version}}
@item @strong{-V}
@anchor{@strong{-V}}
Print the version GNU @strong{sql} and exit.
@item @strong{--shebang}
@anchor{@strong{--shebang}}
@item @strong{-Y}
@anchor{@strong{-Y}}
GNU @strong{sql} can be called as a shebang (#!) command as the first line of a script. Like this:
@verbatim
#!/usr/bin/sql -Y mysql:///
SELECT * FROM foo;
@end verbatim
For this to work @strong{--shebang} or @strong{-Y} must be set as the first option.
@end table
@node DBURL
@chapter DBURL
A DBURL has the following syntax:
[sql:]vendor://
[[user][:password]@@][host][:port]/[database][?sqlquery]
To quote special characters use %-encoding specified in
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-2.1 (E.g. a password
containing '/' would contain '%2F').
Examples:
mysql://scott:tiger@@my.example.com/mydb
sql:oracle://scott:tiger@@ora.example.com/xe
postgresql://scott:tiger@@pg.example.com/pgdb
pg:///
postgresqlssl://scott@@pg.example.com:3333/pgdb
sql:sqlite2:////tmp/db.sqlite?SELECT * FROM foo;
sqlite3:///../db.sqlite3?SELECT%20*%20FROM%20foo;
Currently supported vendors: MySQL (mysql), MySQL with SSL (mysqls,
mysqlssl), Oracle (oracle, ora), PostgreSQL (postgresql, pg, pgsql,
postgres), PostgreSQL with SSL (postgresqlssl, pgs, pgsqlssl,
postgresssl, pgssl, postgresqls, pgsqls, postgress), SQLite2 (sqlite,
sqlite2), SQLite3 (sqlite3).
Aliases must start with ':' and are read from
/etc/sql/aliases and ~/.sql/aliases. The user's own
~/.sql/aliases should only be readable by the user.
Example of aliases:
@verbatim
:myalias1 pg://scott:tiger@pg.example.com/pgdb
:myalias2 ora://scott:tiger@ora.example.com/xe
# Short form of mysql://`whoami`:nopassword@localhost:3306/`whoami`
:myalias3 mysql:///
# Short form of mysql://`whoami`:nopassword@localhost:33333/mydb
:myalias4 mysql://:33333/mydb
# Alias for an alias
:m :myalias4
# the sortest alias possible
: sqlite2:////tmp/db.sqlite
# Including an SQL query
:query sqlite:////tmp/db.sqlite?SELECT * FROM foo;
@end verbatim

@node Get an interactive prompt
@section Get an interactive prompt
The most basic use of GNU @strong{sql} is to get an interactive prompt:
@strong{sql sql:oracle://scott:tiger@@ora.example.com/xe}
If you have setup an alias you can do:
@strong{sql :myora}
@node Run a query
@section Run a query
To run a query directly from the command line:
@strong{sql :myalias "SELECT * FROM foo;"}
Oracle requires newlines after each statement. This can be done like
this:
@strong{sql :myora "SELECT * FROM foo;" "SELECT * FROM bar;"}
Or this:
@strong{sql :myora "SELECT * FROM foo;\nSELECT * FROM bar;"}
@node Copy a PostgreSQL database
@section Copy a PostgreSQL database
To copy a PostgreSQL database use pg_dump to generate the dump and GNU
@strong{sql} to import it:
@strong{pg_dump pg_database | sql pg://scott:tiger@@pg.example.com/pgdb}
@node Empty all tables in a MySQL database
@section Empty all tables in a MySQL database
Using GNU @strong{parallel} it is easy to empty all tables without dropping them:
@strong{sql -n mysql:/// 'show tables' | parallel sql mysql:/// DELETE FROM @{@};}
@node Drop all tables in a PostgreSQL database
@section Drop all tables in a PostgreSQL database
To drop all tables in a PostgreSQL database do:
@strong{sql -n pg:/// '\dt' | parallel --colsep '\|' -r sql pg:/// DROP TABLE @{2@};}
@node Run as a script
@section Run as a script
Instead of doing:
@strong{sql mysql:/// < sqlfile}
you can combine the sqlfile with the DBURL to make a
UNIX-script. Create a script called @emph{demosql}:
@strong{#!/usr/bin/sql -Y mysql:///}
@strong{SELECT * FROM foo;}
Then do:
@strong{chmod +x demosql; ./demosql}
@node Use --colsep to process multiple columns
@section Use --colsep to process multiple columns
Use GNU @strong{parallel}'s @strong{--colsep} to separate columns:
@strong{sql -s '\t' :myalias 'SELECT * FROM foo;' | parallel --colsep '\t' do_stuff @{4@} @{1@}}
@node Retry if the connection fails
@section Retry if the connection fails
If the access to the database fails occasionally @strong{--retries} can help
make sure the query succeeds:
@strong{sql --retries 5 :myalias 'SELECT * FROM really_big_foo;'}
@node Get info about the running database system
@section Get info about the running database system
Show how big the database is:
@strong{sql --db-size :myalias}
List the tables:
@strong{sql --list-tables :myalias}
List the size of the tables:
@strong{sql --table-size :myalias}
List the running processes:
@strong{sql --show-processlist :myalias}
