#' @title Create a Linux-Worker
#' @docType class
#' @format An \code{\link{R6Class}} generator object
#'
#' @description
#' \code{\link[R6]{R6Class}} to create local and remote linux workers.
#'
#' @field nodename Host name. Set via constructor.
#' @field ncpus Number of CPUs. Set via constructor and defaults to a heuristic which tries to detect the number of CPUs of the machine.
#' @field max.load Maximum load average (of the last 5 min). Set via constructor and defaults to the number of CPUs of the machine.
#' @field status Status of the worker; one of \dQuote{unknown}, \dQuote{available}, \dQuote{max.cpus} and \dQuote{max.load}.
#' @section Methods:
#' \describe{
#'  \item{\code{new(nodename, ncpus, max.load)}}{Constructor.}
#'  \item{\code{update(reg)}}{Update the worker status.}
#'  \item{\code{list(reg)}}{List running jobs.}
#'  \item{\code{start(reg, fn, outfile)}}{Start job collection in file \dQuote{fn} and output to \dQuote{outfile}.}
#'  \item{\code{kill(reg, batch.id)}}{Kill job matching the \dQuote{batch.id}.}
#' }
