for some reason the deb is named task-spooler

once installed you invoke it by its' binary name tsp


My fault for not being clearer.

You can search the web for lots of examples of using it.

Task spooler is a Unix batch system where the tasks spooled run one
after the other. Each user in each system has his own job queue. The
tasks are
run in the correct context (that of enqueue) from any shell/process, and its
output/results can be easily watched. It is very useful when you know that
your commands depend on a lot of RAM, a lot of disk use, give a lot of
output, or for whatever reason it's better not to run them at the same time.
