@chapter NAME
@anchor{NAME}
niceload - slow down a program when the load average is above a certain limit
@chapter SYNOPSIS
@anchor{SYNOPSIS}
@strong{niceload} [-v] [-h] [-n nice] [-I io] [-L load] [-M mem] [-N]
[-t time] [-s time|-f factor] ( command | -p PID )
@chapter DESCRIPTION
@anchor{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, ...
@chapter OPTIONS
@anchor{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% satuated.
@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).

@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{--start-io} @emph{iolimit}

@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
@chapter EXAMPLE: See niceload in action
@anchor{EXAMPLE: See niceload in action}
In terminal 1 run: top
In terminal 2 run:
@strong{niceload 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.
@chapter EXAMPLE: Run updatedb
@anchor{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}
@chapter EXAMPLE: Run rsync
@anchor{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/}
@chapter EXAMPLE: Ensure enough disk cache
@anchor{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.
@chapter ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
@anchor{ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES}
None. In future versions $NICELOAD will be able to contain default settings.
@chapter EXIT STATUS
@anchor{EXIT STATUS}
Exit status should be the same as the command being run (untested).

sem - semaphore for executing shell command lines in parallel
@chapter SYNOPSIS
@anchor{SYNOPSIS}
@strong{sem} [--fg] [--id <id>] [--timeout <secs>] [-j <num>] [--wait] command
@chapter DESCRIPTION
@anchor{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.
@chapter OPTIONS
@anchor{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.
@item @strong{--jobs} @emph{N}
@anchor{@strong{--jobs} @emph{N}}
@item @strong{-j} @emph{N}

@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{-j} @emph{-N}
@anchor{@strong{-j} @emph{-N}}
@item @strong{--max-procs} @emph{-N}
@anchor{@strong{--max-procs} @emph{-N}}
@item @strong{-P} @emph{-N}
@anchor{@strong{-P} @emph{-N}}
Subtract N from the number of CPU cores. Run up to this many jobs in
parallel. If the evaluated number is less than 1 then 1 will be used.
See also @strong{--use-cpus-instead-of-cores}.
@item @strong{--jobs} @emph{N}%
@anchor{@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}%}
Multiply N% with the number of CPU cores. Run up to this many jobs in
parallel. If the evaluated number is less than 1 then 1 will be used.
See also @strong{--use-cpus-instead-of-cores}.
@item @strong{--jobs} @emph{procfile}

@anchor{@strong{--max-procs} @emph{procfile}}
@item @strong{-P} @emph{procfile}
@anchor{@strong{-P} @emph{procfile}}
Read parameter from file. Use the content of @emph{procfile} as parameter
for @emph{-j}. E.g. @emph{procfile} could contain the string 100% or +2 or
10.
@item @strong{--semaphorename} @emph{name}
@anchor{@strong{--semaphorename} @emph{name}}
@item @strong{--id} @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/
@item @strong{--fg}

@chapter EXAMPLE: Protecting pod2html from itself
@anchor{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

@chapter SYNOPSIS
@anchor{SYNOPSIS}
@strong{sql} [options] @emph{dburl} [@emph{commands}]
@strong{sql} [options] @emph{dburl} < commandfile
@strong{#!/usr/bin/sql} @strong{--shebang} [options] @emph{dburl}
@chapter DESCRIPTION
@anchor{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{--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
@chapter DBURL
@anchor{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
@chapter EXAMPLES
@anchor{EXAMPLES}
@section Get an interactive prompt
@anchor{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}
@section Run a query
@anchor{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;"}
@section Copy a PostgreSQL database
@anchor{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}
@section Empty all tables in a MySQL database
@anchor{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 @{@};}
@section Drop all tables in a PostgreSQL database
@anchor{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@};}
@section Run as a script
@anchor{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}
@section Use --colsep to process multiple columns
@anchor{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@}}
@section Retry if the connection fails
@anchor{Retry if the connection fails}
If the access to the database fails occationally @strong{--retries} can help
make sure the query succeeds:
@strong{sql --retries 5 :myalias 'SELECT * FROM really_big_foo;'}
@section Get info about the running database system
@anchor{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}
