pueue

Pueue is a command line tool for managing long-running tasks in UNIX environments. It stands for "Parallel Command Execution Queue."

It provides a simple and efficient way to manage the execution and scheduling of commands. You can enqueue one or multiple commands, which will be executed in order, making it easier to manage complex workflows.

One of Pueue's main features is the ability to parallelize tasks. It allows you to run multiple commands simultaneously, making sure that the system resources are utilized efficiently.

Pueue provides an interactive and user-friendly interface in the terminal. It displays a queue of tasks, their status, and any output generated by the commands. You can pause, resume, or abort tasks as needed, making it easy to control the execution according to your requirements.

It also supports advanced features like task dependencies and prioritization. You can set up tasks that depend on the successful completion of other tasks, ensuring that they are executed in the correct order. Additionally, you can assign priority levels to tasks to control their execution order.

Pueue supports multiple queues, allowing you to group tasks and manage them separately. This can be helpful when you have different sets of tasks or different priorities within a workflow.

The tool supports notifications, so you can receive alerts when tasks complete or encounter errors. This feature ensures that you can stay updated on the progress of your tasks even when you are not actively monitoring the tool.

Pueue is highly customizable, with various configuration options available. You can adjust settings like the number of parallel tasks, log verbosity, and notification preferences according to your needs.

It integrates well with other command-line tools and shells, making it easy to incorporate into your existing workflows. You can use it in conjunction with other tools like cron for task scheduling or integrate it into shell scripts.

Pueue is an open-source project, licensed under the MIT License, making it freely accessible and modifiable by the community. It is actively maintained and has a growing user base, ensuring ongoing development and support.
