Parallel Question Issue

[Hogue, Robert (Nokia - CA/Ottawa)]

Hi,

 

I am running the below parallel when I run it again 500 targets in this case commands that ssh to host and grabs information.

 

I runs fine.

 

parallel --timeout 800% --tag linux_boxes_ssh :::: "$passwords" "$file_with_targets"

 

If I run it against 10,000 targets a lot of them do not right the results to the log file.

 

What can I set to make sure it still runs and I need a timeout just in case one of the jobs gets stuck I need it to time out.

 

I am new to parallel.

 

Thanks

Bob
