Hi Harshal, May not be exactly this
xargs *.txt | mhonarc -add but similar kind of command. Still I get the same problem of "Too many files open" or "Bad File number" error . Increasing descriptors to 1024 with limit command avoided "Too many files open" problem but got "Bad file Number" error. I don't know how to avoid "Bad File number" error?
