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.
This thing was greatly improved when I wrote tmux_send_to_many, but one thing was missing – waiting for the thing, running in tmux window to end.
Generally, I had to look at all the windows, and decide when to launch next step on my own.
Not anymore.
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.

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.
