My apologies. I was having flashbacks to a thread dealing with ten million files in one directory; the OP refused to believe his disk couldn't be multithreaded via some magic perl or python code... Now that that's out of the way!
Do all three machines share the same disk? If not, dsh won't be useful here!
1) Your loops are overcomplicated. Instead of
Code:
ARR=( whatever ) ; for i in `seq ...`
do
Code:
for FILE in whatever/*
do
...
done
2) for FILE in whatever/*, or shell globbing in general, will fail with 'too many arguments' when there are large numbers of files. Better to use a utility like ls or find and print to a pipe when you dont' know how many files there are.
3) Don't have your sub-programs check which files are "theirs" -- tell them which files are theirs. Feed them into the program so they don't have to guess. This avoids problems with them getting out of sync (if the folder has a file added to the dir before one runs and after another runs, for example).
Code:
#!/bin/bash
NODES=3
N=0
# If there are thousands of files, '*.R' will fail in the shell with 'too many arguments'.
# So we use find instead, which prints to a pipe, avoiding using
# arguments at all.
find /home/ts/test2/temp/ -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '*.R' | while read FILE
do
echo "file $FILE goes to node $N"
echo "$FILE" >> /tmp/$$-$N
let N=(N+1)%3
done
for ((N=0; N<NODES; N++))
do
# I am assuming dsh can read from standard input here.
# If this is wrong, that wont' work :(
/sw/egs/bin/dsh -w node0${N} -e "/home/ts/scripts/copy.sh" < /tmp/$$-$N &
rm /tmp/$$-$N
done
wait
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ODIR="/home/ts/test3/
while read FILE
do
echo "Got file $FILE"
echo cp "$FILE" "$ODIR"
done
My program usage takes the form for example;
$ theApp 2 "one or more words"
i.e. 3 command line arguments; application name, an integer, some text
My code includes the following 4 lines:
int anInteger;
char words;
sscanf(argv, "%d", &anInteger);
sscanf(argv, "%s", &message);

KUPFER(1)KUPFER(1)NAME
kupfer - Convenient command and access tool for applications and documents
SYNOPSIS
kupfer [ OPTIONS | FILE ... ]
kupfer-exec FILE ...
DESCRIPTION
Kupfer is an interface for quick and convenient access to applications and their documents.
The most typical use is to find a specific application and launch it. We have tried to make Kupfer easy to extend with plugins so that this
quick-access paradigm can be extended to many more objects than just applications.
kupfer-exec is a helper script that can execute commands saved to file, but only by connecting to an already running instance of Kupfer.
SPAWNING
Running kupfer on the command line (without options) will try to show the program it if already running.
Kupfer can be invoked with a list of files
kupfer FILE ...
This can be used to select files given as command-line arguments in the program. Then you can invoke actions even on objects from a
shell-based context.
You may also pipe text to kupfer to pass it to a currently running instance of the program.
OPTIONS --no-splash
Launch without presenting main interface
--list-plugins
Display a list of all installed plugins
--debug
Enable more verbose output that can help understanding the program's operation.
--relay
Is deprecated and will be started by the Multihead Support plugin when needed
--exec-helper=HELPER
Run plugin helper program, which should be the name of a module inside kupfer.
The following are generic options
--help Display usage information
--version
Display version information
CONFIGURATION
Custom plugins are added to kupfer by installing them to the directory ~/.local/share/kupfer/plugins, or any kupfer/plugins directory in
any of $XDG_DATA_DIRS.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
If KUPFER_NO_CUSTOM_PLUGINS is set, only allow loading built-in plugins (installed in the program's python package).
If KUPFER_NO_CACHE is set, do not load from or write to any source cache files.
