Buffer size/memory allocation for shell scripts
Hello,

I have a small problem some large shell scripts.
My scripts do lot of text manipulation with large files. But at some point they stuck. The variables in the script lose their value, it becomes null.
I guess this is because of lack of memory. What could be the other reason of variables losing its value?


How can I allocate more ram to shell scripts in linux, or increase the buffer size?

Thanks
