Hi Marc, I test in production … just kidding. But - not kidding - I did read the entire mmfind.README, compiled the binary as described therein, and read the output of “mmfind -h”.
But what I forgot was that when you run a bash shell script with “bash -x” it doesn’t show you the redirection you did to a file … and since the mmfind ran for ~5 days, including over a weekend, and including Monday which I took off from work to have our 16 1/2 year old Siberian Husky put to sleep, I simply forgot that in the script itself I had redirected the output to a file. Stupid of me, I know, but unlike Delusional Donald, I’ll admit my stupid mistakes. Thanks, and sorry. I will try the mmfind as you suggested in your previous response the next time I need to run one to see if that significantly improves the performance… Kevin On Mar 7, 2018, at 1:15 PM, Marc A Kaplan <makap...@us.ibm.com<mailto:makap...@us.ibm.com>> wrote: As always when dealing with computers and potentially long running jobs, run a test on a handful of files first, so you can rapidly debug. Did you read the mmfind.README ? It mentions...that this sample utility "some user assembly required..." ... mmfindUtil_processOutputFile.c A utility to parse the "list file" produced by mmapplypolicy and to print it in a find-compatible format mmfind invokes it once mmapplypolicy begins to populate the "list file" mmfindUtil_processOutputFile.sampleMakefile copy to 'makefile', modify as needed, and run 'make' to compile mmfindUtil_processOutputFile.c This should produce a binary called mmfindUtil_processOutputFile mmfind will not be able to run until this utility has been compiled on the node from which you launch mmfind. Works for me...
