pueue-send

pueue send [-e] taskid input_

pueue send writes text to the standard input of a running task in the pueue queue, enabling interaction with commands that prompt for user input. This is useful for confirming prompts, supplying passphrases, or feeding data to long-running tasks that the daemon supervises.The target task must have been started with stdin attached (the default for pueue add) and must currently be in the running state.

TASKID_

Numeric ID of the running task to receive input.

String written to the task's stdin. A newline is appended automatically.

Interpret backslash escapes such as `\n`, `\t`, `\\`.

The task must be running; queued, paused, or finished tasks cannot receive input. Each invocation appends a newline. Sensitive input (passwords, tokens) is visible in shell history and process arguments.

pueue is a command-line task queue manager written in Rust by Arne Beer. The send subcommand was added to allow non-interactive queues to handle programs that occasionally require stdin.
