Dear Ole Thank you for your reply. It is indeed weird. I perhaps have to downgrade my ubuntu from 11.10 to 10.10 for my Gnu parallel to work. I'm using the latest version of GNU parallel. But still get the same result. Computers / CPU cores / Max jobs to run1:local / 4 / 4 Computer:jobs running/jobs completed/%of started jobs/Average seconds to completeWord too long.then it stops.

Yeah that is weird. I cannot reproduce the error. Report bugs to <[email protected]> or https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=parallel Your bug report should always include: * The output of parallel --version. If you are not running the latest released version you should specify why you believe the problem is not fixed in that version. * A complete example that others can run that shows the problem. A combination of seq, cat, echo, and sleep can reproduce most errors. If you example requires large files, see if you can use make them by something like seq 1000000>file. If you suspect the error is dependent on your distribution, please see if you can reproduce the error on one of these distibutions: http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualboximage/files/ /Ole
