System wide queue

-------------------------

You can set the $TS_SOCKET variable to the same name path for all your

'ts' processes, and then

they'll use the same socket for intercommunication. This means - single queue.

You should be certain that any 'ts' can read/write to that socket, using

chmod.

A queue for each resource

-------------------------

You can use $TS_SOCKET and aliases/scripts for having different queues for

different resources. For instance, using bash:

alias tsdisk='TS_SOCKET=/tmp/socket.disk ts'

alias tsram='TS_SOCKET=/tmp/socket.ram ts'

alias tsnet='TS_SOCKET=/tmp/socket.net ts'

Be notified of a task finished

-------------------------

In X windows, inside bash, after submitting the task, I use:

$ ( ts -w ; xmessage Finished! ) &
