Hi everyone, I'd like to have parallel lunch at most N commands in parallel on my machine. I have a file where each line corresponds to a command, named commands.exp. What I do is simply this:
paralle -j N < commands.exp (where N is 8, but nevermind) but I have is that on my netbook I seem to have the first 8 lines running in parallel, but on my other machine (having the same version of parallel and os, namely ubuntu [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>), the first 8 lines get 8 processes each! Thus creating a huge bottleneck. What am I missing here? Why does parallel consider each line to be launched 8 times? Thanks in andance
