#197 Task Queue on boot live

[Citytech]

Our network is slow. Backup disk is 110 GB. I only deploy 4 machines at time at time. I am wondering if clonezilla has a task queue for example I start 4 machines, wait until done, then start the next 4. etc

Did you mean you want to do that for Clonezilla lite server?

[Citytech]

Yes, Steven, is it possible to do this directly, or does it have to be done through Clonezilla SE?

[Steven Shiau]

When you run lite server, it should give you green command:
https://clonezilla.org//clonezilla-live/doc/11_lite_server/images/ocs-10-10-waiting-for-multicast-client.png
You can keep that one by one, and write you own script to run them.
The difficult is the you have to know when the clients are finished, especially the BT mode. Hence you have to stop the lite server when your clients are done.

What is the most efficient way to run a task queue, and how should I write a script to process or execute the queued tasks?

[Steven Shiau]

A script is quit straightforward. I suggest you can find someone who is familiar with script to help you. Or you can just google it, e.g, this doc:

Or you can ask AI.
