Dear Davide, Thanks for your input! To check that I'm certainly not doing anything else time-consuming and that it's not a faulty hard drive with a bad cluster in mailusers.tab, I made this little shell script:
=== date grep \"test\.domain\.tld\" ../mailusers.tab date ../CtrlClnt -s localhost -u ******* -p ********** userlist test.domain.tld date grep \"test\.domain\.tld\" ../mailusers.tab date === This is the result: === Sun Jun 15 15:06:15 CEST 2008 "test.domain.tld" "1" "54" 21574 "1" "U" "test.domain.tld" "2" "57" 21575 "2" "U" "test.domain.tld" "3" "56" 21576 "3" "U" "test.domain.tld" "4" "51" 21577 "4" "U" "test.domain.tld" "5" "50" 21578 "5" "U" Sun Jun 15 15:06:15 CEST 2008 "test.domain.tld" "1" "1" "U" "test.domain.tld" "2" "2" "U" "test.domain.tld" "3" "3" "U" "test.domain.tld" "4" "4" "U" "test.domain.tld" "5" "5" "U" Sun Jun 15 15:06:30 CEST 2008 "test.domain.tld" "1" "54" 21574 "1" "U" "test.domain.tld" "2" "57" 21575 "2" "U" "test.domain.tld" "3" "56" 21576 "3" "U" "test.domain.tld" "4" "51" 21577 "4" "U" "test.domain.tld" "5" "50" 21578 "5" "U" Sun Jun 15 15:06:30 CEST 2008 === Getting the userlist via CtrlClnt took about 15 seconds while grep needed less then a second. When getting a full list of all users (not only for one domain), the processing seems to stall now and again. It however stalls in different locations every next time I run it. Any ideas of what might be going wrong? Could this be caused by some faulty setting somewhere?
