About:
Pueue is a CLI-based process manager that allows you to queue, manage, and monitor long-running shell commands. It provides features like parallel execution, task dependencies, and real-time status updates, making it ideal for orchestrating complex workflows and background jobs from the terminal.
Key Features:
  • Queue and manage multiple shell commands
  • Parallel and sequential execution modes
  • Real-time status monitoring and logs
  • Task dependencies and groups
  • Pause, resume, and kill tasks
Use Cases:
  • Managing long-running data processing or build tasks
  • Orchestrating complex development or deployment workflows
  • Running and monitoring background services in a controlled manner
Alternatives:
  • tmux – Tmux is a terminal multiplexer for session management, while Pueue is specifically a task queue manager for commands.
  • GNU screen – Similar to tmux, focuses on session persistence rather than command queueing and dependency management.
  • systemd – A system-level init and service manager, more complex and lower-level than Pueue's user-focused task management.
