I use it quite often. For example when reorganizing your disks, you often launch several mv/cp/rsync commands at a time. If they are simultaneously executed, the disks perform very badly. TS makes it very easy to execute exactly ONE (or several) processes at a time. Many programs existed for this, but this one runs the programs in the very exact context where they were launched. There are many possible usages. Do you want to launch several programs and then go to sleep? Run them with TS and finally execute "ts sudo halt". Voilà! What do you say about the port 80? TS does not open any TCP port, it has (by now) no HTTP server. Enjoy this cool tool! Raúl I find Task Spooler very useful. I use it quite often.

I don't know how it does anything with TCP and port 80 in your setup. I use ts on linux servers which have apache running, and I've never had any problem like that. What system are you using? Please feel free to tell that in the taskspooler mailing list. :) Thanks. I developed task spooler and I saw this entry. :)
