Show HN: qme: simple utility for queueing long-running commands I keep needing a way to run long-running resource intensive tasks after one another. Normally, I'd write a script which loops over the items, but not knowing what needs to run (I pick files as I go through a folder), I knew it's time I create something to scratch my own itch. So, I've created this utility to queue up commands. It captures command, args, env and working directory and puts it in a queue, and runs it when it's time. At the same time, it spins up an RPC server to receive commands from other instances.

The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
