Full Discussion: Sort command using which directory
Operating Systems HP-UX Sort command using which directory Post 302604241 by manubatham20 on Sunday 4th of March 2012 03:02:59 AM

Hi,

I am still not able to find, why sort command is failing. I have set TMPDIR to /tmpdump (as shown above) which is of 8GB and same error. While sort command was running, I have executed df -k to see if size of directory is used or not. I noticed that

Code:
/tmpdump               (/dev/vg02/lvol2       ) :  8323520 total allocated Kb
                                                   8306200 free allocated Kb
                                                     17320 used allocated Kb
                                                         0 % allocation used

and it remains the same. Please let me know how to solve this problem.

Thank you.

I saw that

Code:
TMPDIR=/tmpdump
export TMPDIR

is setting the TMPDIR to the current session only, while script is used in some other session. I want to make this change persist along all the unix sessions. How to do that?

Please help.

Thanks.

lorder

lorder(1)							   User Commands							 lorder(1)

NAME

       lorder - find ordering relation for an object or library archive

SYNOPSIS

       lorder filename...

DESCRIPTION

       The input is one or more object or library archive filenames (see ar(1)).  The standard output is a list of pairs of object file or archive
       member names; the first file of the pair refers to external identifiers defined in the second. The output may be processed by  tsort(1)	to
       find  an  ordering  of a library suitable for one-pass access by ld. Note that the link editor ld is capable of multiple passes over an ar-
       chive in the portable archive format (see ar.h(3HEAD)) and does not require that lorder be used when building an  archive.   The  usage	of
       the lorder command may, however, allow for a more efficient access of the archive during the link edit process.

       The following example builds a new library from existing .o files.

	      ar -cr library `lorder *.o | tsort`

FILES

       TMPDIR/*symref	       temporary files

       TMPDIR/*symdef	       temporary files

       TMPDIR		       usually /var/tmp but can be redefined by setting the environment variable  TMPDIR (see tempnam() in tmpnam(3C))

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWbtool 		   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       ar(1), ld(1), tsort(1), tmpnam(3C), ar.h(3HEAD), attributes(5)

NOTES

       lorder  will  accept as input any object or archive file, regardless of its suffix, provided there is more than one input file. If there is
       but a single input file, its suffix must be .o.

       The length of the filename for TMPDIR is limited to whatever sed allows.
