> = About GNU Parallel =
>
> GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one
> or more computers. A job is can be a single command or a small script
> that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical
> input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of
> URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be a command that reads from
> a pipe. GNU Parallel can then split the input and pipe it into
> commands in parallel.
>
> If you use xargs and tee today you will find GNU Parallel very easy to
> use as GNU Parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If
> you write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel may be able to
> replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several
> jobs in parallel. GNU Parallel can even replace nested loops.
>
> GNU Parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as
> you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it
> possible to use output from GNU Parallel as input for other programs.
>
> You can find more about GNU Parallel at: http://www.gnu.org/s/parallel/
>
> You can install GNU Parallel in just 10 seconds with: (wget -O -
> pi.dk/3 || curl pi.dk/3/) | bash

> = About GNU SQL =
>
> GNU sql aims to give a simple, unified interface for accessing
> databases through all the different databases' command line clients.
> So far the focus has been on giving a common way to specify login
> information (protocol, username, password, hostname, and port number),
> size (database and table size), and running queries.
>
> The database is addressed using a DBURL. If commands are left out you
> will get that database's interactive shell.

> = About GNU Niceload =
>
> GNU niceload slows down a program when the computer load average (or
> other system activity) is above a certain limit. When the limit is
> reached the program will be suspended for some time. If the limit is a
> soft limit the program will be allowed to run for short amounts of
> time before being suspended again. If the limit is a hard limit the
> program will only be allowed to run when the system is below the
> limit.
