queue

name	queue
description	Run long commands in the background without tool timeouts. Use for anything that may run longer than 10 seconds (builds, test suites, deploys)

The command is read from stdin:

queue run <<'EOF'
nix build .#package --no-link -L
EOF

task=<id> is printed first. Output streams until the command finishes and the exit code is the command's exit code. Queues detach after ~100s queue with exit code 75. The task keeps running.

queue wait <id>            # re-attach; replays output from the start
queue wait                 # barrier: wait for all my tasks
queue log <id>             # full output so far + status, works while running
queue status [--all]       # my tasks (--all: everyone's); --json for scripts
queue ps <id>              # pid, RSS, CPU of the task's process tree
queue restart <id>         # rerun a failed task without retyping the command
queue kill <id>
queue run [--after ID] [--tail-ok N] [-C DIR]
                           # dependency; tail output on success; working dir

Rules:

• Exit code 75 always means a detached build.
• Never pipe the queued command through head/tail. Use queue log or --tail-ok instead, otherwise output is lost forever.
