Hello,
I have a bunch of jobs (cp, cat or ln -s) on big files (10xGB in size):
One command at a line!
I can send them into background by adding & at the end of each line, but then all at once the server (24 cores) get over-loaded with my 100x jobs.
Or, I can run the bash script, so that the jobs are run one-by-one, then the available cores my admin assigned me (8 ~ 16 normally) are not fully used.
The challenge is the file names of each line are so random that it is hard to script into nice format for loops or regex.
I was thinking there may be some way like but I am not sure the exact option:
How to use the parallel for my case to spread the jobs to available cores and speed up the work?
Thanks!
i need to execute 5 jobs at a time in background and need to get the exit status of all the jobs i wrote small script below , i'm not sure this is right way to do it.any ideas please help.
$cat run_job.ksh
#!/usr/bin/ksh

link
link(2) System Calls Manual link(2)NAME
link() - link to a file
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
The system call creates a new link (directory entry) for the existing file. path1 points to a path name naming an existing file. path2
points to a path name naming the new directory entry to be created.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, returns zero. Otherwise, it returns -1 and sets (see errno(2)) to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The system call fails and no link is created if one or more of the following is true:
A component of either path prefix denies search permission.
The requested link requires writing in a directory
that does not permit writing.
The user's or group's disk quota block limit has been reached for this file system.
The link named by
path2 exists.
path points outside the allocated address space of the process. The reliable detection of this error is implementation
dependent.
Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating either path name.
The maximum number of links to a file would be exceeded.
Either the specified path exceeds
bytes, or a component of either specified path exceeds while is in effect.
The file named by
path1 does not exist.
A component of either path prefix does not exist.
path2 points to a null path name.
path1 or path2 is null.
The directory to contain the file cannot be extended.
A component of either path prefix is not a directory.
The file named by
path1 is a directory and the effective user ID is not a user who has appropriate privileges. Some file systems
return this error whenever path1 names a directory, regardless of the user ID.
The requested link requires writing in a directory
on a read-only file system.
The link named by
path2 and the file named by path1 are on different logical devices (file systems).
