Tcon

A slightly lazy shell script to run parallel commands with tmux panes through a FIFO queue. This makes it super easy to run multiple jobs at the same time while monitoring progress. tcon uses tmux-xpanes under the hood, you can pass xpanes parameters to tcon after the concurrency limit to take full advantage of it.

Usage

  # Echo a line and sleep afterwards with a concurrency of 4. `-x` is passed along to tmux-xpanes.
  seq 1 10 | (while read f; do echo "echo 'Sleeping for $f seconds' && sleep $f"; done;) | tcon 4 -x
