GNUbatch - Summary
This project is part of the GNU Project.
GNUbatch is based on a product first released in 1990 and worked on continually since then.
It provides Batch scheduling with "job control variables" which may be atomically tested and set to provide arbitrarily complicated job chaining and interlocking.
Interfaces are provided for shell, "curses", GTK, API for C and C++ (has been adapted for Java), web browser, Motif and also an MS Windows interface (this latter needs changing to use Free Software only).

This version has some extensive changes to aid incorporation in Debian.
Also included is a revision to handling of the user permissions file. This is now "default user" plus "exceptions" rather than being one for each user.
The manuals tell a few lies here - I'll update them shortly for 1.4 but most of the material is correct and will work in more or less the same way.
Please note that "charges" have been deprecated. I don't think anyone used them.

This includes Debian configuration.
Some minor bugs have been fixed and some typos in the manuals.
The library administration has been rewritten to use libtool.

GNUbatch 1.1 has been released.
This hopefully overcomes some compilation problems on some
systems and eliminates some warning messages.

GNUbatch 1.0 has been released.
(This is actually a more mature product than it looks as it is Release 6.414 of the original product which it has been copied from).
I'm actually working (well I've spent about 8 years off and on) on a whole new release so please join the discussion on the next release 2 and help me complete it.
That's not to say the current release isn't useful!
