Dear all,

I used GNU parallel to process 144766 files using 8 jobs run in parallel. But the following error arising on starting the process.

parallel -j 8 "do something" ::: *.txt
bash: /usr/local/bin/parallel: Argument list too long

Can anyone tell the maximum input files which can be given for input to run in GNU parallel? or anyother way to process these many number of files?


Thanks and Regards
