Notes
If not given, the default command is "units".
If there are multiple groups, config requires a group name, except for account settings (user, team, passkey, cause).
For command lufah -a /groupname config cpus N
, N is not limited to unused cpus across groups.
Group "/" is taken to mean the default group, which is "".
For a group name actually starting with "/", use prefix "//".
Example: lufah -a somehost//rg1 finish
An error may not be shown if connection times out.
Commands start and stop are macOS-only.
The top
command is glitchy on Windows when the window is resized.
Type space to force a redraw.
