you might consider piping your echo $w | xargs...

hi list, whilst trying to run this bash command

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?
