Pueue is a command-line task management tool for queuing and executing long-running shell commands sequentially or in parallel. A background daemon processes the queue independently of terminal sessions, with scheduling, dependencies, task groups, and crash-safe persistence.

Use cases

• queue long-running shell commands in the background
• run tasks in parallel with a configurable concurrency limit
• schedule shell commands to run at a specific time
• keep tasks running after closing an ssh session
• manage multiple task queues with dependencies between tasks
• pause and resume background tasks from any terminal

When to choose

• you need a persistent task queue that survives terminal disconnects and system crashes
• you want to serialize or parallelize long-running shell commands from the CLI
• you need scheduled or dependent shell task execution on a single machine

When to avoid

• you need distributed task execution across multiple machines
• you need a full workflow orchestration engine with complex DAGs and a web UI
• you only need a simple cron replacement for recurring jobs
