You can show your appreciation by promoting GNU Parallel. You can:

* Post the intro video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpaiGYxkSuQ on
your blog/Twitter/Facebook/Linkedin/user group/mailing lists
* Write a review for your blog/Twitter/Facebook/Linkedin/user
group/mailing lists
* Help others use GNU Parallel when you see problems that can be
solved using GNU Parallel
* Request or build a package for your favourite distribution
* Join the mailing list http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/parallel
* Invite me to speak at your next conference (Contact http://ole.tange.dk)

If GNU Parallel saves you money:

* Donate (or convince your company to donate) to FSF https://my.fsf.org/donate/

> However I would like to know why the other things which I tried

cat filename|  seq 19 22 | parallel -j1  echo "{1}/output/{2}"

This does not work, as seq does not read from stdin, and GNU Parallel
generates one line of output for each line of input.

I had not understood your problem correctly, so I gave a solution to a
problem you did not have.
