 **Example**
-ToDo
+
+To run an executable in parallel over a list of parameters read from an input file, chose an executable from the Executable dropdown and a list containing items as parameters from List File.

+A sample list file is:
+
+/home/ketan/afile.txt
+/home/ketan/bfile.txt
+/home/ketan/cfile.txt
+
+A sample executable upload.sh is:
+
+scp $1 aserver.adomain.edu:~/
+
+The tool will run thrice invoking the above scp command in parallel for three items listed in the list file.
