I'm not very skilled at writing shell scripts. #! /bin/sh for k in $(ls *.JPG); do convert $k -resize 1024 $k; done
I use the above script to batch re-size digital camera photos after I dump them to my web server. It takes a very long time with lots of new photos as the server is fairly old, even though it is a 2-way SMP, because the script only runs one convert process at a time serially, only taking advantage of one CPU. The convert program is part of the imagemagick toolkit. How can I best modify this script so that it splits the overall job in half, running two simultaneous convert processes, one on each CPU? Having such a script should cut the total run time in half, or nearly so, which would really be great. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
