The idea with basefile is to only transfer it once (per server) as it
could be rather big. I clearly have not thought it through what should
happen if you combine --basefile with --workdir (and especially not
--workdir ...).
Dear mailing list: What would you expect to happen with:
parallel --basefile rel/path/foo.bf -S server1,server2 --wd .
my_program ::: baz quux xyzzy
parallel --basefile rel/path/foo.bf -S server1,server2 --wd ...
my_program ::: baz quux xyzzy
parallel --basefile rel/path/foo.bf -S server1,server2 my_program :::
baz quux xyzzy
parallel --basefile /abs/./path/foo.bf -S server1,server2 --wd .
my_program ::: baz quux xyzzy
parallel --basefile /abs/./path/foo.bf -S server1,server2 --wd ...
my_program ::: baz quux xyzzy
parallel --basefile /abs/./path/foo.bf -S server1,server2 my_program
::: baz quux xyzzy
parallel --basefile /abs/path/foo.bf -S server1,server2 --wd .
my_program ::: baz quux xyzzy
parallel --basefile /abs/path/foo.bf -S server1,server2 --wd ...
my_program ::: baz quux xyzzy
parallel --basefile /abs/path/foo.bf -S server1,server2 my_program :::
baz quux xyzzy
How many times should foo.bf be transferred? To what dir?
