Is there a maximum length for a shell script command? How can I detect that in my OS?
For example, if I have something like:
command A | command B | command C | awk '{print $1 $2 $3 $4 $5}'
then can we break the commands and also the arguments inside awk ?
Thanks (11 Replies)

MAN(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual MAN(7)NAME
man - macros to typeset manual
SYNOPSIS
nroff -man file ...
troff -man file ...
DESCRIPTION
These macros are used to lay out pages of this manual. A skeleton page may be found in the file /usr/man/man.template.
Any text argument t may be zero to six words. Quotes may be used to include blanks in a `word'. If text is empty, special treatment is
applied to the next input line with text to be printed. In this way .I may be used to italicize a whole line, or .SM may be followed by .B
to make small bold letters.
A prevailing indent distance is remembered between successive indented paragraphs, and is reset to default value upon reaching a non-
indented paragraph. Default units for indents i are ens.
Type font and size are reset to default values before each paragraph, and after processing font and size setting macros.
These strings are predefined by -man:
*R `(Reg)', trademark symbol in troff.
*S Change to default type size.
FILES
/usr/share/tmac/tmac.an
/usr/man/man.template
