Re: [Nmh-workers] Artificial argv limits.

2012-11-26 19:00:40
The result is that if an MH command runs up against the machines argv
limit, it will fail.  If that's a problem for the user, they can use
xargs(1).  The only additional work we should be doing is to ensure all
the MH user commands are xargs friendly, and I am pretty sure that's
already the case.

The problem is that the particular thing we're talking about, rmmproc,
is NOT xargs friendly, because the "interface" is "run command with
filenames as arguments".
