the situation becomes much worse if you generate the filenames from a random sequence. Try to replace the command "seq" by "jot" from the package athena-jot like for i in $(jot 5000 1 5000) That makes the numerical order of the files have a random i-node number sequence . -- Regards, jvp. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
