As the name implies, Task spooler is a Unix batch system
|
|
|
that can be used to add the Linux commands to the queue
|
|
|
and execute them one after the other in numerical order
|
|
|
(ascending order, to be precise). This can be very useful
|
|
|
when you have to run a lots of commands, but you don't want
|
|
|
to waste time waiting for one command to finish and run the
|
|
|
next command. You can queue it all up and Task Spooler will
|
|
|
execute them one by one. In the mean time, you can do other
|
|
|
activities.
