The GNU Parallel 20120220 alpha release can be fetched at: http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/parallel/parallel-20120220.tar.bz2
The primary change is --workdir which can now take '.' as parameter meaning current dir. Please at least test out this on all platforms you have access to. ssh anotherhost mkdir -p mydir mkdir -p ~/mydir; cd ~/mydir; parallel --workdir . -S anotherhost ::: pwd If you get an unexpected result, post the OS and version and what result you see. /Ole
