If you need more visibility into long running processes, pueue is another alternative. You can of course use `xargs -P1 pueue add ./process_file.sh` to add the jobs in the first place. Sends a job to pueued, returns immediately. Great for re-encoding dozens of videos. For jobs that aren’t already multi-core, set the queue parallelism with pueue, after you’ve seen your cpu is under-utilised. Obviously downside to the visibility and dynamism is that it redirects stdout. You can read it back later, in order. But it’s not there for continued processing immediately.
