--command, -c, --file, and -f now obsoleted. --eta works again.
Bugfix in testsuite for --retries.
Lots of dead code removed.

== Bug? ==

locate .gz | parallel -X find {} -size +1000 -size -2000 | parallel --workdir ... -S .. --trc {/}.bz2 'zcat {} | bzip2 > {/}.bz2'


== Compare ==

http://code.google.com/p/spawntool/
http://code.google.com/p/push/

== Basename ==

find mp3/ -iname "*.mp3" | parallel -j+0 lame -S -q1 --vbr-new -V6 -b 32 -B128 {} /mnt/sda1/tmp-zik/{/}

== Bug? ==

.parallel/config with --long-options

time find . -type f | parallel -j+0 --eta -S..,: --progress --trc {}.gz gzip  {}

== Bug --eta ==

Only negative.

== Workdir ==

Bug: {2} in --return
parallel -N2 --workdir ... --cleanup --transfer --return {2}.2 -S .. -v echo {} ">{2}.2" ::: ./tmp/foo ./tmp/bar

== load ==

Include niceload
Have an option to not spawn new tasks until load is below a limit computed like number of jobs.

== SQL ==

Example with %0a as newline
sql :my_postgres?'\dt %0a SELECT * FROM users'

cat ~/.sql/aliases | parallel --colsep '\s' sql {1} '"select 0.14+3;" | grep -q 3.14 || (echo dead: {1}; exit 1)'

== FEX ==

fex syntax for splitting fields
http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/fex/
sql :foo 'select * from bar' | parallel --fex '|{1,2}' do_stuff {2} {1}


--autocolsep: Læs alle linjer.
Prøv fastlængde: Find tegn, som står i alle linjer på de samme pladser. Risiko for falske pos
Prøv fieldsep: Find eet tegn, som optræder det samme antal gange i alle linjer (tab sep)
Prøv klyngesep: Find den samme klynge tegn, som står samme antal gange i alle linjer (' | ' sep)
Fjern whitespace før og efter colonne

hvis der er n af tegn A og 2n af tegn B, så 

  a | b | c

Simpleste: tab sep

for hver linje
  max,min count for hver char

for hver char
  if max == min :
    potentiel
    min_potentiel = min(min_potentiel,min)

for potentiel:
  if min % min_potentiel = 0: sepchars += potentiel,no of sepchars += min / min_potentiel

colsep = [sepchars]{no_of_sepchars}


# Hvordan udregnes system limits på remote systems hvis jeg ikke ved, hvormange
# argumenter, der er? Lav system limits lokalt og lad det være max

# TODO max_line_length on remote
# TODO compute how many can be transferred within max_line_length
# TODO Unittest with filename that is long and requires a lot of quoting. Will there be to many
# TODO --max-number-of-jobs print the system limited number of jobs

# TODO Debian package

# TODO to kill from a run script parallel should set PARALLEL_PID that can be sig termed

GNU Parallel is a tool with lots of uses in shell. Every time you use
xargs or a for-loop GNU Parallel can probably do that faster, safer
and more readable.

If you have access to more computers through ssh, GNU Parallel makes
it easy to distribute jobs to these.

ssh parallel@vh2.pi.dk

=head1 IDEAS

Kan vi lave flere ssh'er, hvis vi venter lidt?
En ssh med 20% loss og 900 ms delay, så kan login nås på 15 sek.

Test if -0 works on filenames ending in '\n'

If there are nomore jobs (STDIN is eof) then make sure to
distribute the arguments evenly if running -X.


=head1 options

One char options not used: A F G K O Q R T Z

=head1 sem

Parallelize so this can be done:
mdm.screen find dir -execdir mdm-run cmd {} \;
Maybe:
find dir -execdir par$ --communication-file /tmp/comfile cmd {} \;

find dir -execdir mutex -j4 -b cmd {} \;


=head1 Unlikely

Accept signal INT instead of TERM to complete current running jobs but
do not start new jobs. Print out the number of jobs waiting to
complete on STDERR. Accept sig INT again to kill now. This seems to be
hard, as all foreground processes get the INT from the shell.
