Unix commands failing inside the shell script
When my script deals with large input files like 22Gb or 18 GB the basic commands like sort or join fails when run from inside the shell scripts. Can there be any specific reason for this?

For e.g.
sort -u -t "," -k1,1 a.csv > a.csv.uniq"
sort -u -t "," -k1,1 b.csv > b.csv.uniq"

The first sort fails in the midway and begins the sort on the b.csv without throwing any error.

When run from the command line they run perfectly..they are giving me a problem only when they are run from a shell script. Does the HUGE file size has anything to do with this??

processcsv.py

PROCESSCSV.PY(1)					      Virtualization Support						  PROCESSCSV.PY(1)

NAME

       processcsv.py - process virt-top CSV files

SUMMARY

	virt-top --csv data.csv
	processcsv.py < data.csv

DESCRIPTION

       virt-top is a top(1)-like utility for showing stats of virtualized domains.

       processcsv.py is a simple Python script that post-processes the output of "virt-top --csv".

       It is used like this:

	virt-top --csv data.csv
	processcsv.py < data.csv

       The second command will overwrite the following files in the current directory:

       "global.csv"
	   This contains the global (host) statistics columns from the CSV file.

       "domainNN.csv" (multiple files)
	   For each libvirt domain ID NN, a file is created containing the per-domain statistics from the CSV file.
