Hi, I have been using parallel for some time. I have two queries regarding parallel:
*Memory* Does Parallel optimize memory usage or is there any switch to control memory usage. *-j0 and tail -f* Running parallel as: tail -f jobsqueue | parallel -j0 & I give a number of input commands to jobsqueue file as required. However, I find no activity going on. But when the tail process is killed. ( pkill tail ). Parallel starts running all the jobs so far queued to jobsqueue at the same time. I would like to know if there is a way by which parallel will determine (and execute) the maximum jobs it can execute at a time from a given queue of jobs. Thanks, Vijish
