Do you mean it runs for a few days (???) and exits cleanly? Sounds more like it isn't actually reading anything from stdin and just waiting for input. It shouldn't take more than a few (may be 10 on a slow machine) minutes to run ... Does it work OK if you use '1.new' as the argument to the -path-list option? i.e. mkisofs -v -r -V 236 -path-list 1.new ... Reading path-lists from stdin should work (it does in v1.15a14 at least) - I don't know if Joerg has changed anything recently ... Note: you will have to use the -graph-points syntax (and change the contents of your input list) to preserve the input directory structure) e.g. /data1/archiveHTML/0044/605/0044605450.gz=/data1/archiveHTML/0044/605/0044605450.gz /data1/archiveHTML/0044/605/0044605584.gz=/data1/archiveHTML/0044/605/0044605584.gz ... and use the -graph-points option.
