executive - Tool

Postscript file available

Tool for running scripts in a queue
include "executive.g"

Description

executive implements a queue for executing commands or scripts:

Command sequences may be specified - these are written to a script for execution.
Scripts are queued and run in order of submission.
Running scripts may be killed, and queued scripts may be deleted from the queue.
The scripts may be specified for execution on another host.
A log file may be optionally specified.
The number of concurrently running jobs allowed may be specified.

Important Note that the scripts run in a separate instance of glish. Thus variables such as tools defined in the current glish session will not be available inside the script.
