ctbur / async Goto Github PK

This could enable waiting for a specific command or make commands that share the same ID run sequentially.

The interface could be simplified if the server would start automatically on first the command and stop on wait.

Hello, and thanks for the awesome project!

I've been playing around with it for a bit, a stumbled across an issue that I've reduced to:

async -s socket.S server --start
async -s socket.S wait
async -s socket.S wait

The last line errors out, and "kills" the server, complaining: Can only wait once at a time

Cheers!

In a script where I'm doing this:

S="/$TMP/async_socket"
async -s="$S" server --start -j40
$async -s="$S" cmd -- bash -c "echo hello"

... I'm sometimes running into this:

Error: Unable to open connection to server on socket
sources-combined> Caused by IO error: No such file or directory (os error 2)

My guess is, that the async --start command doesn't ensure the socket file exists when exiting and only creates it shortly after.
If cmd is issued too quickly, it will not find the socket and error out.

A sleep 1 after the start command, seems to resolve the issue.
But this should better not be necessary.
