pueue-parallel:tldr:23608

pueue-parallel: Set the maximum number of tasks allowed to run in parallel, in a specific group.
$ pueue parallel --group ${group_name} ${maximum_number_of_parallel_tasks}
try on your machine

This command utilizes the pueue command-line tool to execute tasks in parallel with a specified number of maximum parallel tasks. Here is an explanation of each component of the command:

  1. pueue: This is the main command of the pueue tool, which allows for managing and executing commands in parallel.

  2. parallel: This is a subcommand of pueue used to specify that the tasks should be executed in parallel.

  3. --group ${group_name}: This option specifies the group name under which the tasks will be executed. By grouping tasks, you can manage and control them as a single entity.

  4. ${group_name}: This placeholder should be replaced with the actual name of the group you want to assign to the tasks. For example, if you want to assign the group name "mygroup" to the tasks, you would replace ${group_name} with mygroup.

  5. ${maximum_number_of_parallel_tasks}: This placeholder should be replaced with the maximum number of tasks you want to execute in parallel within the specified group. For instance, if you want to execute a maximum of 3 parallel tasks within the group, you would replace ${maximum_number_of_parallel_tasks} with 3.

By running this command, you can effectively manage and execute a group of tasks in parallel, with a specific limit on the number of simultaneous tasks based on the provided maximum.
