Description
xjobs reads job descriptions line by line and executes them in parallel. xjobs is most useful on multiprocessor machines when one needs to execute several time consuming commands that could possibly be run in parallel. It works similar to xargs, but starts several processes simultaneously and gives only one line of arguments to each utility call.
