# Yet another strange job scheduler bug I have a [job scheduler](/blog/2025/09/jobserver-woes) to run commands on a fixed schedule (once every 15 minutes, every Wednesday at 8 pm, etc.). This weekend, I noticed that some jobs were taking much longer than expected – commands that should exit in less than a second were taking 15 or 30 minutes.

A surprisingly pleasant library for parsing command-line flags in Bash shell scripts.
