from that man page, there is a name clash with "ts" from moreutils

I installed task-spooler just now, because I’ve been wanting something like this for a long time.

It looks like the actual name of the task-spooler command on Debian after install is “tsp”, not “ts”. So no collision :)

Now it just remains to be seen if the package by default allows the tasks to continue to run after I log out, or if systemd will annoyingly kill the tasks after I disconnect from ssh the same way systemd annoyingly kills my “screen” sessions when I disconnect ssh, and there is some cumbersome thing you have to do on each of your systems to have systemd not kill “screen” :(

Some distros rename the binary to 'tsp' (I think Debian does that)

I really want there to be a database-backed version for larger tasks called tbsp.

moreutils also clashes with parallel, does it not? i remember installing some package for chronic and thus breaking GNU parallel, at least back in the late 2010s.

yes it does, good point
