The GNU Parallel 20110719 alpha release can be fetched at: http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/parallel/parallel-20110719.tar.bz2
Please test it thoroughly so we are sure nothing is broken. parallel passes the testsuite, so parallel should be production quality. However, niceload has gotten a major overhaul so it might be somewhat broken. Thus you should concentrate your testing on niceload. New in this release: * niceload: --hard will suspend a program if a limit is reached - as opposed to just slowing the program down. * niceload: --soft will slowing the program down - as opposed to suspending the program completely. * niceload: --run-io will slow down a program if disk io goes above a certain limit. * niceload: --run-load will slow down a program if loadaverage goes above a certain limit. * niceload: --run-mem will slow down a program if free memory goes below a certain limit. * niceload: --run-noswap will slow down a program if the computer is swapping. * niceload: --start-io, --start-load, --start-mem, --start-noswap will defer starting a program until the system is below the limit. * --io, --load, --mem, and --noswap sets both --run-* and --start-*. * niceload got a major rewrite and is now object oriented. /Ole
