# detach, which discard output, a jobrunner job keeps a live terminal you
# can return to later — it survives closing the shell, and `attach`
# restores it in any subsequent session.
# Run and manage named background jobs. Jobs are detached from the shell
# and backed by tmux (preferred) or GNU screen.
#
# Every subcommand has a matching flag form, and the common cases are
# inferred: no arguments lists jobs, a lone name attaches to it, and a
# name followed by a command runs it.
# If the job name is omitted when starting a new job (e.g. `jobrunner sleep 1`),
# a memorable, random name (like `sleepy-badger`) will be generated.
#
# ARGUMENTS
# -t, --tool <name> Force specific backend (tmux or screen)
# run, -r, --run <name> <cmd>... Start a named job in the background
# list, -l, --list List all managed background jobs
# attach, -a, --attach <name> Re-attach interactively to a job
# SUBCOMMANDS
# run, -r, --run [<name>] <cmd> Start a new background job
# list, -l, --list List all running jobs (default if no args)
# attach, -a, --attach <name> Attach to a running job's terminal
# kill, -k, --kill <name> Terminate a running background job
# logs, -o, --output <name> Print a job's current output, no attach
# help, -h, --help Show usage help
