Hallo Walter! > If i remember correctly that limit is fallen in later linux kernels. As correctly pointed out by someone else, there are (were) two limits. The so called kernel limit, which is correctly a limit based of the architectures stack/environment considerations. And the limit enforced by the (unparsed) command line buffer of the shell, which is usually lower than the kernel limit, but isn't relevant for globbing requirements.
> but it is sensible not to overload commandline and use xargs or other. xargs bypasses shell buffer limitations and does only need to deal with kernel (or stack/environment) memory requirements. -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
