Complex script and long argument list

[xmoon 2000]

Hi,

I am trying to use parallel instead of my usual "backgrounding".

I run 60 of these background jobs at once on my 32 core machine, the
<> I have put in email for convenience as actual folder names are very
long.:

/q/myFunc.sh 10 20000 -metric=sum -recalcDOW=wednesday -nth=0 -lag=0
-qpopt=100 -qpmin=20.0 -qpup=0.01  slotAUDJPY0fr <folder1 ..folder200>
&
'
'
/q/myFunc.sh 10 20000 -metric=sum -recalcDOW=wednesday -nth=0 -lag=0
-qpopt=100 -qpmin=20.0 -qpup=0.01  slotAUDJPY0fr <folder1 ..folder200>
&



To use parallel, I put all these into a file called parlist:


/q/myFunc.sh 10 20000 -metric=sum -recalcDOW=wednesday -nth=0 -lag=0
-qpopt=100 -qpmin=20.0 -qpup=0.01  slotAUDJPY0fr <folder1 ..folder200>
'
'
/q/myFunc.sh 10 20000 -metric=sum -recalcDOW=wednesday -nth=0 -lag=0
-qpopt=100 -qpmin=20.0 -qpup=0.01  slotAUDJPY0fr <folder1 ..folder200>

I then tried to run in parallel like this:


cat parlist | time parallel --eta
or
cat parlist | time parallel --eta '{}'

But I get error:
