r to this I'd put the input through some perl to delay it sending the output to xargs but would require fewer invocations of 'sleep'. I think this is worth having just from a simplicity point of view. -- Best regards, Ed http://www.s5h.net/

Please find attached a copy of a patch. This change introduces a delay between executions of cmd. This can be very useful if the cmd being executed needs to be throttled. -- Best regards, Ed http://www.s5h.net/ >From 317c936677d7b06f6972d5214b8c38aab1e26121 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From:

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #13252 (project findutils): Probably the configure script should check for Tcl 8.4 and disable this test if necessary. Or the test itself could give a result 'skipped' rather than 'failed' if the necessary Tcl version isn't installed. __
