RE: problem using nested parallel

[Shantanu Unknown]

Hi Ole,

Neither of the two solutions you suggested are working for me. I am using GNU parallel version 20101125 (Is that too old)?

When I tried bash shell, it only gave <contentsof file>/output/

Is it because the version of parallel is outdated? (I did not think so, since nested parallel seemed supported when I downloaded this)

and am using Centos

Also I did read the examples on the man page and thought I had implemented things correctly based on the examples.

Thanks in advance for all help
