feature: parallel and staggered

[jjhesk]

is that possible to make more options for parallel and staggered schedule?

@jjhesk there is a lot of flexibility right now, what are you looking for?

[jjhesk]

not just one by one plotting

[BasilHorowt]

@jjhesk yes that is the point of plot man! No one is plotting 1 by 1 with it. Going to close this but I suggest reading the readme, and some items in the wiki (like the FAQ )

@BasilHorowt I am trying to say that "one by one" is staggered but its not what I mean. I want to say the plotman plot by 3 or N at the same start time.

@jjhesk
Use N temp dirs. Set tmpdir_max_jobs=1
In this case you will have Nx1 jobs running in parallel.
Also, you could use 1 temp dir and set tmpdir_max_jobs=N.

@jjhesk various people have asked about simultaneously starting multiple plots. I have not managed to get an explanation from any as to why 3x every 15 minutes would be better than 1x every 5 minutes. What makes you interested in being able to do this?
