Hi The traditional Unix batch command is old and not sexy enough to generate enough talk among the Linux users. However, I recently read a post that hinted the powerfulness of the old utility. To make the long story short, here are my questions, which are not explained clearly in 'man batch':
- I know that if I list my tasks one by one and sent to the batch command at once, they'd be executed one by one. But what if I issue 10 different batch commands one by one, which are all scheduled "now", would they still be executed one by one? how come? - Which parameter is controlling the sequential execution? What if I want to execute batch commands two at a time? - Would batch jobs compete with CPU resources with my foreground tasks? - Do I need to "nice" the tasks before submitting to batch? If not, what is the default nice value for batch jobs? thanks Hope there are still people here can answer the above "old" questions. tong -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
