Wait for program(s) in tmux panes to end…

I am doing quite a lot of work inside tmux. I especially love that I can start multiple windows/panes and use them to run the same thing across multiple servers, while still having normal shell access between steps.

Waiting for 9.5 – Implement SKIP LOCKED for row-level locks

On 7th of October, Alvaro Herrera committed patch:

Implement SKIP LOCKED for row-level locks
 
This clause changes the behavior of SELECT locking clauses in the
presence of locked rows: instead of causing a process to block waiting
for the locks held by other processes (or raise an error, with NOWAIT),
SKIP LOCKED makes the new reader skip over such rows.  While this is not
appropriate behavior for general purposes, there are some cases in which
it is useful, such as queue-like tables.
 
Catalog version bumped because this patch changes the representation of
stored rules.
 
Reviewed by Craig Ringer (based on a previous attempt at an
implementation by Simon Riggs, who also provided input on the syntax
used in the current patch), David Rowley, and Álvaro Herrera.
