Perhaps save text option (sticky bit) will help. Causes the program's text to be saved in memory for faster subsequent execution.
chmod o+t /bin/grep Rick -----Original Message----- From: Dan Gervais [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 9:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: GREP on Redhat 7.3 I have recently upgraded to RH7.3 and I have several shell scripts that use the GREP command quite extensively. The problem that I have is that the version of GREP (2.5.1) that comes with this release of RH is 114076 bytes in size, about 10 times larger than the version I used on my old Sun box. This really slows down the scripts, to the point where I can't run them. I then discovered PCREGREP which is only 13430 bytes in size, but the problem with this is that the -f option is limited to a maximum of 100 patterns, which is much lower than I need.
