Subject: GNU Parallel 20101113 released
GNU Parallel 20101113 has been released. It is available for
download at: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parallel/
New in this release:
* Using -j myfile the number of jobs can be changed while GNU Parallel
is running simply by changing the content of myfile.
* Implemented --profile to use different .parallel/config for
different situations.
* Ugly newlines in $PARALLEL and .parallel/config are no longer
needed. Instead you have to use \ in front of special shell
characters.
* --workdir puts the files transferred to remote machines in a
specified directory.
* $PARALLEL_PID is set to the process id of GNU Parallel.
* $PARALLEL_SEQ is set to the sequence number of the job.
* -v now only shows the command to run. Use -v -v to show the
ssh/rsync wrapping.
* Slow spawning error is now only a warning.
* If stdin is a tty and input is read from stdin you now get a
warning.
* GNU sql: \n and \x0a in arguments is replaced with newline.
* Patch for Debian package and spelling mistakes. Thanks to Rogério
Brito <rbrito at ime dot usp dot br>

= About GNU Parallel =
GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one
or more machines. A job is typically a single command or a small
script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The
typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a
list of URLs, or a list of tables.
If you use xargs today you will find GNU Parallel very easy to use as
GNU Parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If you
write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel may be able to
replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several
jobs in parallel. If you use ppss or pexec you will find GNU Parallel
will often make the command easier to read.
GNU Parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as
you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it
possible to use output from GNU Parallel as input for other programs.
