You can show your appreciation by promoting GNU Parallel. You can: * Post the intro video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpaiGYxkSuQ on your blog/Twitter/Facebook/Linkedin/user group/mailing lists * Write a review for your blog/Twitter/Facebook/Linkedin/user group/mailing lists * Help others use GNU Parallel when you see problems that can be solved using GNU Parallel * Request or build a package for your favourite distribution * Invite me to speak at your next conference (Contact http://ole.tange.dk) If GNU Parallel saves you money: * Donate (or convince your company to donate) to FSF https://my.fsf.org/donate/ > When I use the current progress indicator, it only shows how many tasks > completed, and the percentage always shows 100%.

I think a better measure is: incomplete vs. all or complete vs. all. > I also wish > it showed an estimated time remaining for all the tasks to finish; the > average time per task is a nice start already. For estimated time look at --eta. The 100% is the % of started jobs that are started on this computer. It changes if you use remote computers (-S). Currently --progress does not require GNU Parallel to read all arguments and I would like it to continue to be this way. However, --eta already requires reading all arguments, so it could be part of that. An ETA line looks like this: ETA: 4490s 99291left 0.02avg local:2/9909/100%/0.1s We could change it to: ETA: 4490s 99291=90%left 0.02avg local:2/9909/100%/0.1s Do have a better suggestion? /Ole
