How about $(dirname {})? As in:
find . | parallel 'echo $(dirname {})'

Ole,
Such a feature would be useful whenever you wanted to place the output of
processing a file in the same directory as the file. For instance, untarring
all the tar files found recursively in a directory tree.
Actually, having something like `find -execdir`, which runs the exec after
cd-in
Thanks, Jay, sure, that works fine and is what I'm doing now.
Similarly, $(basename {}) work instead of {.}
It is just a convenience factor that is easily coded around.
I think my request to have parallel exec the code in the directory containing
the file is perhaps more relevant what do yo
The thing is, you can give parallel filenames that don't exist, and
it's still useful to be able to operate on them, which dirname can do
but find -execdir cannot. Re-implementing find seems like a lot of
undesirable complexity. I agree that it might be convenient to have a
shorthand for dirname;
I have 2 files and I want to do something like this with parallel.
fileA
/var/log/httpd.log
/var/log/mapd.log
/var/log/mysqld.log
/var/log/postgresql.log
fileB
host1
host2
host3
host4
I would like to run, 'md5sum' with `cat fileA` on all these hosts `cat fileB`.
Any ideas?
For running the exact same command(s) on a bunch of machines, you
might want to look into a tool like func or Cluster SSH. Parallel is
more for "I have a bunch of jobs and I don't really care where they
run."
That said, it's certainly possible, with something like:
$ parallel -q -j0 ssh {} 'echo
Hi Malcom.
I clearly did not explain why you should give examples: I am a lazy
person and I prefer others write my man pages. So it would be great if
you could come up with a couple examples that can be used directly in
the man page: write the command line, not just the words. The examples
should
