Message: <blockquote data-quote="brettgrant99" data-source="post: 224864">I have a shell script that determines the status of a job directory.When I run this script on my linux boxes for 100 directories, it takes about 2 minutes.When I run it on my macs (G5 2.0 Ghz machines) and 100 directories, it takes about 11 minutes.The linux boxes are similar type machines, dual processor 2.2 Ghz Opterons, so I wouldn't expect a big discrepency.The real problem is that I have something like 30000 directories to go though, so right now it takes a bit of time.Just wondering if anyone has any ideas.  I am thinking about coding it up in perl and running it that way.  Of course I would have to learn perl to do that.  :headphone Thanks,Brett</blockquote>
