Hi Valdis,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m not sure this is “better”, but what I typically do is have mmapplypolicy running from a shell script launched by a cron job and redirecting output to a file in /tmp. Once the mmapplypolicy finishes the SysAdmin’s get the tmp file e-mailed
to them and then it gets deleted. Of course, while the mmapplypolicy is running you can “tail -f /tmp/mmapplypolicy.log” or grep it or whatever. HTHAL…</div>

Is there any better way to figure out where it is than writing the<br class="">
cron job to launch it as<br class="">
<br class="">
mmapplypolicy | tee /tmp/something<br class="">
<br class="">
and then go scraping the messages? (And yes, I know not all chunks of 1,000<br class="">
files are created equal. Sometimes it's 1,000 C source files that total to<br class="">
less than a megabyte, other times it's 1,000 streaming video files that total<br class="">
to over a terabye - but even knowing it's 194,000 into 243,348 files is better<br class="">
than what I have now...)<br class="">
