Problem

Solution

pueue add — Enqueue a task for execution. More information: <https://github.com/Nukesor/pueue#how-to-use-it>.

Add any command to the default queue:

pueue add {{command}}

Pass a list of flags or arguments to a command when enqueuing:

pueue add -- {{command --arg -f}}

Add a command but do not start it if it's the first in a queue:

pueue add {{[-s|--stashed]}} -- {{rsync --archive --compress /local/directory /remote/directory}}

Add a command to a group and start it immediately, see pueue group to manage groups:

pueue add {{[-i|--immediate]}} {{[-g|--group]}} "{{CPU_intensive}}" -- {{ffmpeg -i input.mp4 frame_%d.png}}

Add a command and start it after commands 9 and 12 finish successfully:

pueue add {{[-a|--after]}} {{9}} {{12}} {{[-g|--group]}} "{{torrents}}" -- {{transmission-cli torrent_file.torrent}}

Add a command with a label after some delay has passed, see pueue enqueue for valid datetime formats:

pueue add {{[-l|--label]}} "{{compressing large file}}" {{[-d|--delay]}} "{{wednesday 10:30pm}}" -- "{{7z a compressed_file.7z large_file.xml}}"
