As soon as you combine --line-buffer with something that requires a file to be written (such as --results), then it reverts to the old behaviour. There has been no discussion on the list. So it is unclear if there are any arguments for/against the current behaviour. It will, however, be fairly easy to change the behaviour to any of these: * Keep as is $ parallel --results res echo ::: foo foo * No output to standard output $ parallel --results res echo ::: foo <<nothing>> * Output of the stdout filename to standard output (similar to --files) $ parallel --results res echo ::: foo res/1/foo/stdout /Ole
