Hi Rob,

good point there. In linux, people used to say: "Do one thing only and do it well." Obviously, GNU Parallel does many things combined, which makes it useable in very different use cases, but... sometimes complicated to understand, sometimes less suitable,... and the Job in question here (Dynamically changing remote servers list) is probably not parallels job by nature.

I have not been following this thread closely but the notion of a threaded GNU 
Parallel troubles me.  I use it to distribute jobs which may or may not be 
themselves multithreaded and I set --jobs according to the level of threading.  
I would not want to have to consider parallel's as part of the mix (unless of 
course I could force it to be single-threaded).
