However, I wanted to use exactly the number of cores I had, so I changed "parallel" in the above to "parallel -j+0"
Upon submitting my first job to jobqueue ( echo "touch a" >> jobqueue ) I got:
Warning: Starting 10 extra processes takes > 2 sec.
Limiting to 1 jobs in parallel.
The machine is not under any load. I've compiled the latest version of
parallel, "parallel-20101222". I do not get this warning when I use
"parallel -j+0" in a less fancy way (no tail -f). So, this seems like a
bug...
Please write back if there is any other info needed.
And, thanks! It's a great program which is helping me a lot.
