batch

Execute commands entered on standard input. End with EOF . Unlike at , which will execute commands at a specific time, batch executes commands one after another (waiting for each one to complete). This avoids the high system load caused by running several background jobs at once. See also at .

Example

batch 
sort 

in

 > 

out


troff -ms 

bigfile



EOF
