I´m running a shellscript...
My server is a P4 HT 3.0 with 1 GB RAM using Redhat Linux for OS. Now I wonder 2 things:
* How long would you professionals guess will it take till it finishes? I currently have only one instance of the script running but I need it to finish within 10 hours. So should I let it run on more instances or do you believe it could work through the 80 GB of files within that time (it´s a very simple script -> only one line of shell code)
* I have several folders and subfolders on my server that are alphanumeric like e.g. folder1. Now I wonder would it proceed the numeric way or the alphanumeric way?
E.g. proceeding like that : folder1->folder10->folder11
or would it proceed that way: folder1->folder2->folder3
I would need that info to check how much is finished yet so I could probably have a raw guess on when everything will be finished.
I hope for soon reply
thx in advance, dd
