Adjustable Limit Que???

I use comskip for Emby server, when I record 2 or more at a time,, example if i'm recording 6 tv shows...
when they are done recording and emby sends the command to comskip to start, it starts all the ended recordings at once.
How can i setup a que to only allow 1 to comskip at a time?
Right now it seems to max out my drives and the more it does at once the slower and harder it is on my drive.
if it does 1 at a time, it is much faster and easier on my drives.
Please it gets the job done much faster.
But i dont want to tear up my drives until they fail...
any help?
for now I disable comskip :(

Normally you would run a single command file that checks every minute or so for recordings without the comskip output and if one is found comskip has to be started on such a file.
I don't use such a method so I do not have an example but it should be fairly simple to create such a command file

I understand the idea, but can you provide some sort of example file?
where would I insert it at if I was in do such a thing?
Recording Post Processing
Post-processing application
C:\Comskip\commskipRecordings.bat
Post-processor command line arguments
"{path}"

or in the commskipRecordings.bat???
set drive=%~d1
set folder=%~p1
set filename=%~n1
c:
cd\comskip
comskip --ini=comskip.ini "%drive%%folder%%filename%.ts"
%drive%
del "%folder%%filename%.log"
del "%folder%%filename%.logo.txt"
del "%folder%%filename%.txt"

Comskip does not do and will not due queue management as many application that start comskip already do queue management
