Hi,
I wanted to know what is the maximum length of command which can be run on a bourne (sh) shell? Where can I find that information? Is it different for different OS flavors?

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)
How can I change the maximum length of a programming line in fortran and C (specifically in fortran 77)?
Seems the default maximum length is 72 in fortran 77.
Thanks. (4 Replies)
