Concurrent

A naive tool that take cmd line commands (from text file or pipe) and execute concurrently:

It will automatically distribute the commands to CPU cores, the logical ones as much as you have except one (which is reserved for OS).

If you seek a more powerful tool: GNU Parallel.

Usage

• Issue commands via stdin (pipe) input:

someCmdGenerator | concurrent -

* Issue commands via file:
```shell
concurrent <path_to_file>

Special directives

• Fence: Will wait for all executing commands (i.e. all commands before this directive) to finish and then continue on.

Fence

or

rem Fence rem

* Change the number of commands executing in parallel:

Threads: <# of jobs>

or

rem Threads: <# of jobs> rem

* Comment keyword: {`#`, `rem`}, the same as shell script & batch comment keyword.

Lines starting with these keywords will be ignored.
