hi list, whilst trying to run this bash command
for w in {A..Z}{A..Z}{A..Z}{A..Z}{A..Z}{A..Z}{A..Z}{A..Z} ;do echo
$w;done > wl1
on my aspire one (which is running rawhide) it kept crashing my system
down with no reasons shown in any of the logs, so i tried it on my
desktop machine which is an athlonx2 6000 with 2GB of ram and a raid0
array, with 2GB of swap and it too crashed the terminal but it did give
me an error and it turned out to be an oom error so i tried upping the
swap partition to 10GB and i'm still getting an oom crash, can anyone
suggest a way of getting the command to dump the output to disk each
time it gets close to running out of memory? or is this command always
doomed to fail?
