Hi, The following example shows that the order of the stdout/err output is not maintained. It seems that stdout always goes earlier than stderr. Is it so?
Is there a way to make the order to be the same as if gnu parallel is not called. $ cat main.sh #!/usr/bin/env bash # vim: set noexpandtab tabstop=2: set -v function cmd { echo "$2" echo "$1" >&2 echo "$2" } export -f cmd printf '%s\t%s\n' {1..4} | parallel --colsep $'\t' 'cmd {1} {2}' $ ./main.sh function cmd { echo "$2" echo "$1" >&2 echo "$2" } export -f cmd printf '%s\t%s\n' {1..4} | parallel --colsep $'\t' 'cmd {1} {2}' 2 2 1 4 4 3 -- Regards, Peng
