Usage

The gotask command takes at least two arguments, i.e., the command-line command to be executed and a yaml file containing a list of command-line arguments to be given to the command-line command. gotask will execute the command in parallel and give each command one of the command-line arguments in args.yml. The default number of executing threads equals to the number of virtual CPU cores. It can be changed by setting the environmental variable GTPAR.

gotask [command] [args.yml]

Example

gotask sleep args.yml

The content of the args.yml file is listed below.

- 3
- 3
- 3

The effect is that gotask will execute sleep 3 command three times in parallel.
