Hi, Thank you for the reply. But this will compress up to 10 files at once. It will not compress one file on more than one core. It would be better and much faster if one file compressed by 8 or 16 cores.
An Example: (we are do it like your skript) 5000 files: normal method(one file at time one core): 7h 34m like your skript(15 files on 15 cores): !extreme load, hdd is unusable! 1h 37m pbzip2(8 cores): !all is right, hdd usuable! 1h 43m Take care at the number of cores.

This script will keep you at max 10 instances of bzip: -- snip-- #!/usr/local/bin/bash max=10 for file in $* do bzip2 --compress --keep --force --best "$file" & while [ `ps aux | grep bzip | awk 'END { print NR }'` -ge $max ] do sleep 1 done done -- snap -- This is just an example. There are probably ways to tune it and make it better. /Bjorn _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
