Use --joblog to get the execution time and after each job-line running jobs.txt add " ; killall racejobs ".

Does this make sence?

I don't think I understand this. Say we have the following job-list.

$ cat jobs.txt

sleep 2 ; echo 2 # job 1

sleep 7 ; echo 7 # job 2

sleep 3; echo 3 # job 3

ok, here is where I kill the job which takes time

$ cat jobs.txt 

sleep 7 ; killall sleep ; echo 7 # job 1

sleep 2 ; killall sleep ; echo 2 # job 2

sleep 5 ; killall sleep ; echo 5 # job 3

Then

parallel -j0 --joblog job.log < jobs.txt

but the result is not what is expected

$ sort -n -k4 job.log | head -n 2

Seq     Host    Starttime       Runtime Send    Receive Exitval Signal  Command

3       :       1366832563.661  2.124   0       0       0       0       sleep 5 ; killall sleep ; echo 5 # job 3

My idea was to stop the other jobs when the first one complete. They do get stopped but it is not the right result which is printed. Im sorry I can not come any closer but it might be posssible to do it.
