ANTSPEXEC(1)

okay bestie, let's talk about ANTSPEXEC(1) 🎀 it's a User Commands page and it's giving main character energy 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ANTSpexec - part of ANTS registration suite 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

ngl, if you ever see this in your terminal, it means you typed an option the script doesn't recognise 💀

./ANTSpexec: illegal option -- -

Usage

so the basic vibe is this 🌸

ANTSpexec [-h ] [-r ] [-j nb_jobs ] command arg_list

Optional arguments

these are optional but lowkey iconic 👑

• -h — shows help, for when you're feeling lost 🧚
• -r — replaces the asterisk * in the command string with the argument 💜
• -j nb_jobs — number of CPU cores to use, default 2 ✨

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

here are some examples, slay 💖

ANTSpexec somecommand arg1 arg2 arg3

ANTSpexec -j 3 \"somecommand -r -p\" arg1 arg2 arg3

ANTSpexec -j 6 -r \"convert -scale 50% * small/small_*\" *.jpg

bestie, listen 😭 if you hit CTRL + C to stop the script early, run /build/ants-nj96rV/ants-2.6.4+dfsg/debian/ants/usr/bin/killme.sh to terminate any processes that are still hanging around 💀
