Example usage ============= Let's take a look at the following shell code snippet: #!/bin/bash for i in 1 2 3 4 5 do sleep 1; done normally it takes 5 seconds for this loop to run. If we add the 'worker' by changing it to #!/bin/bash for i in 1 2 3 4 5 do worker sleep 1; done on a machine that has for example two processors/cores, the loop takes 2 seconds to finish. First 1 and 2 run simultaneously, then 3 and 4. The loop exits while job 5 is still running. In some cases this is an unwanted side-effect and you want to wait for all jobs to have finished. In that case you can add a 'worker --join' at the end. The whole code now takes 3 seconds to run. ATTENTION: This program is in a very experimental stage. That means it worked on two of my computers. I'm still busy making it available for everyone else. Benjamin Reh www.benjaminreh.de
