# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Simple desktop batch queue processor.
#
# The batch queue is defined by a standard FIFO and
# the entries in the queue are processed line-by-line.
# Each entry is executed as a separate process in the background,
# commonly referred to as a job.
# The number of jobs that can simultaneously run is limited by the queue size.
# The batch queue can be terminated by submitting a job with contents "exit".
#
# The batch queue may also be an existing regular file.
# The entries in the queue are processed as normal but
# the batch queue will terminate when the end-of-file is reached.
#
# A job can be submitted using the puts_queue function (see qlib.sh or qlib.csh).
# A series of joint commands can be submitted using a sequence of
# calls to put_queue, terminated by a single puts_queue call.
