I can define my tasks in a single command line.
you could run
something like this on the server:
tail -f task_list.txt | while read -r spec; do run the task from $spec; done
Nice.
Put that in a tmux or screen session.
Task submission is then just appending a spec to the text file:
echo "specification here" >> task_list.txt
Love it.
Dumb as rocks, but effective. I've run simple workers like this.
I might build a nice wrapper around it, but that will work.
Probably "run the task from $spec" should invoke a shell script to run
exactly one task collecting the output, logging the times etc.
I can redirect the task output to text files so I can check what happened after the fact.
Thanks for the reply.
