pueue-parallel
Set pueue task concurrency level
TLDR
Set parallel tasks
$ pueue parallel [4]
Set for specific group$ pueue parallel --group [group_name] [2]
Unlimited parallel$ pueue parallel 0
Single task at a time$ pueue parallel 1
SYNOPSIS
pueue parallel [options] [amount]
DESCRIPTION
pueue parallel sets how many tasks can run simultaneously in the pueue task queue. This controls concurrency for the default or specified group.
PARAMETERS
amount
Number of parallel tasks (0 = unlimited).--group, -g name
Target specific group.
EXAMPLES
$ # Allow 4 parallel tasks
pueue parallel 4
# Sequential execution
pueue parallel 1
# Unlimited parallelism
pueue parallel 0
# Set for specific group
pueue parallel --group downloads 2
# Check current setting
pueue status
pueue parallel 4
# Sequential execution
pueue parallel 1
# Unlimited parallelism
pueue parallel 0
# Set for specific group
pueue parallel --group downloads 2
# Check current setting
pueue status
USE CASES
$ # CPU-bound tasks (match cores)
pueue parallel $(nproc)
# I/O-bound tasks (more parallelism)
pueue parallel 10
# Memory-intensive (limit)
pueue parallel 2
pueue parallel $(nproc)
# I/O-bound tasks (more parallelism)
pueue parallel 10
# Memory-intensive (limit)
pueue parallel 2
CAVEATS
Setting affects new task scheduling. Running tasks continue. 0 means no limit.
HISTORY
