Hi all you enlightened unix people,
I've been trying to execute a perl script that contains the following line within backticks:
`grep -f patternfile.txt otherfile.txt`;
It takes normally 2 minutes to execute this command from the bash shell by hand.
I noticed that when i run this command from crontab.. it's much more faster... within 10 seconds the file is created... i'm trying to solve this issue.. do you have any clues??
Thx
F
