UNIX: 0403-027 The parameter list is too long
Hello All,
We have a batch job that clean old records. This run a script to back up file then delete. Unfortunately, this job been failing lately. This is the error we received. "/usr/bin/compress: 0403-027 The parameter list is too long." I am not sure if the job failed since its compressing too many files. Please advise what does this error really mean and the best solution for this. I read from other threads that using "xargs" will solve this problem. Can I incorporate this "xargs" in the script? How? Appreciate any input  Thanks! juieshenkei |

If your command is something like this: Code:
compress * Replace it with Code:
ls -1 |xargs compress But if your command is something like one of Code:
compress *.txt compress 2009-* Then you need to first use "find" (for the first example) Code:
find . -name "*.txt" -print | xargs compress |
