@matrixmadhan: Thanks a lot... I have used an almost similar approach from your script but slightly adapted for my own datasets. I will try timing both the approaches and will paste the result here.

And one more thing: I have found this really cool package called xjobs. Would you mind taking a look at it? It basically handles the master part from your logic and is very useful. Thought you might find some use out of it too. You can access it here: xjobs

@shamrock: Again, thank you for clarifying the issue. I just didn't know if it was really RAID not JBOD because the CPU is spending 88% of its time waiting (taken from the mpstat command) which seemed really weird to me.

@bakunin: Thank You for the advice. I actually agree with you as that was my experience too. I switched to PERL after a really bad experience with awk. Blame it on my lack of expertise in them. Other than that, I am still using awk and sed whenever things can be done easily.

dwww

DWWW(1) 							      Debian								   DWWW(1)

NAME

       dwww - access documentation via WWW

SYNOPSIS

       http://localhost/dwww/index.html
       dwww
       dwww program-name | package-name

DESCRIPTION

       A  typical Linux system has documentation in many formats (manual pages, info files, READMEs, and so on).  dwww makes it possible to access
       all of these via the same interface, a WWW browser.  This makes it easier to use the documentation.

       To use dwww, load the URL given in the SYNOPSIS.  If you have a web browser installed, you can also just run the dwww command  which  loads
       the  URL.   If  BROWSER	environment  variable  is  set, dwww uses sensible-browser(1) to load the URL.	Otherwise, dwww first tries to use
       browser specified by DWWW_BROWSER or DWWW_X11_BROWSER configuration variable (cf.  dwww(7)), than will use sensible-browser(1) command.

       If optional argument program-name or package-name is specified, dwww will search all documentation related to given program or package.

ENVIRONMENT

       BROWSER
	      Program used to load the above mentioned URL.

FILES

       /etc/dwww/dwww.conf
	      Configuration file for dwww.

SEE ALSO

       dwww-find(8), dwww(7), sensible-browser(1).
