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, and I've compiled the latest version of parallel, "parallel-20101222". 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.
