Consider the following transcript (from Cygwin): (1020)~ > sem -j0 echo bla && sem --wait parallel: Warning: Starting 143 processes took > 2 sec. Consider adjusting -j. Press CTRL-C to stop. parallel: Warning: Only enough available processes to run 255 jobs in parallel. Raising ulimit -u or /etc/security/limits.conf or /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max may help. parallel: Warning: Cannot spawn any jobs. Raising ulimit -u or /etc/security/limits.conf or /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max may help. (1021)~ > sem -j+0 echo bla && sem --wait bla
Why would starting sem with a "-j0" argument start more than a single process in the above? Given that "-j0" doesn't really make sense for sem, should it perhaps just refuse to take that argument or treat it as a NOP? Regards, Achim.
