okay so you found the tq page, and honestly? it's giving tiny-but-mighty. this is from the General Commands Manual section, so pull up a chair 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

tq — job queue wrapper for tmux/screen

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tq command line ...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so tq is a tiny little wrapper around the nq(1) job queue, and what it does is lowkey iconic: it automatically spawns a matching fq(1) watching process in a brand new tmux(1) or screen(1) window. like, it just does that for you. main character behavior fr fr 💅

and bestie, you can cancel the nq(1) job whenever you want — just press C-c in the job output window. that's it. no cap.

then, once the job has finished, the window will close when you press C-d. so clean, so demure ✨

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • NQDIR — the directory where lock files and job output live. for the full tea, go look at nq(1) 🍓

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

the tq utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. that's the whole vibe check 👑
