gnu parallel 20110322 contains a tollec parallel compat mode and can use a system wide config file to make it default [0]. would that be a solution to the problem? [0] * Site wide config file: /etc/parallel/config This should solve the issue with some packagers renaming GNU Parallel to gparallel to avoid the naming conflict. By putting --tollef in the site wide config file you can deinstall Tollef's parallel and install GNU Parallel instead without any change for users or scripts. This is useful for packagers that currently rename GNU Parallel or simply do not distribute GNU Parallel because the command name conflicts with Tollef's parallel.
