You can have everything +other than the queue\_add.sh script in a queue directory. +There's also the `CMD` variable useful if you're just running one +command with differing or even the same options. +The `TIME_BASE` and `TIME_RND` are useful to spacing the queue tasks +out if need be. + +## Example + ./queue_add.sh 'echo 1 >> log.txt' + ./queue_add.sh 'echo 2 >> log.txt' + ./queue_add.sh 'echo 3 >> log.txt' + ./queue_add.sh 'echo 4 >> log.txt' + ./queue_add.sh 'echo 5 >> log.txt' + sleep 1 # give it enough time to run the first job + tail -f log.txt # see the output |
