It will be useful to distinguish between halting because a job succeeded (e.g. a solution was found) or because there are no more jobs (e.g. no solution was found). So I think these should give different exit codes: parallel --halt soon,success=1 exit ::: 0 1; echo $? parallel --halt soon,success=1 exit ::: 1 1; echo $? But I am less sure what the exit code should represent if there are no successes. It could be the number of failing jobs or the exit code of the first/last failing job if any. And what should then be the exit code if no jobs were run? (e.g. parallel -r exit ::: '') > --halt now,success=1 == --halt -2 The same argument as above. /Ole
