No, there's nothing like that. Another option would be to do it N files at a time, rather than one at a time; that would invoke only M/N shells instead of M shells. You'd need to work out how to break the list up into parts using the $(words ...) etc functions. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
