Disclaimer

You may use the above code at your own risk. The Unix code above should serve many purposes as is, but it is not a panacea. Therefore, please do go ahead and modify the source as you see fit for your particular situation, or use pieces of them to create new tools and capabilities (e.g., a custom queuing system in AppleScript and/or Unix). If your additions could benefit the community, please supply them so that others can benefit. You may also contribute via the parallel-mac-list Mailing List. The code here will be updated over time.
