I would like to react to each job's completion. I need to accumulate the

misunderstanding that feature. Given that parallel is writing joblog (which
I love,btw) I'm wondering if anything could be plugged in there?
Can you make a wrapper like this:

doit() {
    process $1
    analyze output $1
    if good; then
       return 0
    else
       return 1
    fi
}
export -f doit

parallel --halt 1 doit ::: args

If not, please elaborate.

Thanks, yes that might be an option though much must conveyed in "$1". I'm currently trying a java alternative on this same theme, the meat of which may morph into "analyze output".

Cheers,
rjs
