From: Edward Rosten on
Version 1.3 of ssh_parallel and parallel have been released.

This release features much better error handling in ssh_parallel, so
network errors are less likely to cause jobs to go missing.
Additionally, it allows you to specify a nice level for processes.

Same as the last time, I'm interested in any comments/critiques anyone
may have.


Original release notes (with updated URLs):


If you ever write a shell script along the lines of:

some | pipieline | bash

then you may be interested in my program parallel. The above line
would be written as:

some | pipeline | parallel 4

to perform the same task, but with 4 commands running in parallel.
There is a companion program, ssh_parallel which will distribute the
jobs over a number of machines (assuming you have passwordless SSH set
up).
