Introduction

cq (short for command queue) can be used to feed jobs from multiple hosts (clients) into a single host (server). It was originally conceived for remotely building packages on a build host. In turn the build host would provide the requester with a completion notice so it may take some action (usually to install the package). However, the final implementation is generic so it can be used for more than just this scenario.
