Do the examples run as described in the man page?

If you just type:

  parallel

it will read lines from stdin (i.e. your keyboard) and execute them in
parallel. Usually that is not what you want. Maybe it should spit out
a warning if you are doing that. Please test this:

  parallel -k echo ::: this is a test

It should run echo 4 times and print out:

this
is
a
test
