Hi Anders,

The following thread may interest you:

   Dynamically changing remote servers list
   https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/parallel/2014-08/msg00012.html

Based on that, at the time I made a shell script that keeps parallel's

allowing the user to edit (include and/or exclude remote servers) on-the-fly:

PS: It worked with older versions of GNU Parallel (I haven't tested it with
more recent ones yet), so you mileage may vary.
