# paexec\_reorder(1)

reorder sliced output of "paexec -l"

## NAME

paexec\_reorder - reorder sliced output of "paexec -l"

## SYNOPSIS

**paexec\_reorder** \[*OPTIONS*\] \[*files...*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**paexec** with -l option produces a sliced output where results of different tasks are intermixed. The intent of **paexec\_reorder** is to produce ordered output where results for all tasks follow each other without intermixing. It is strongly recommended to send output of "**paexec** *-le*" or "**paexec** *-gle*" to the input of **paexec\_reorder**. Otherwise more memory or disk space for temporary files will be required.

## OPTIONS

- **-h**

  Display help information.

- **-M** *method*

  If *method* is *m*, result is reordered in memory, this is the default. If it is *f*, temporary files are used for reordering. If *s*, **[sort(1)](/sort/1.md)** command is used.

- **-l**

  Prepand output lines with the task number.

- **-g**

  By default output of "**paexec** *-le*" is expected on input. With *-g* option, output of "**paexec** *-gle*" is expected. In this case **paexec\_reorder** will react on "fatal" **paexec's** keyword.

- **-x**

  If applied, output of "**paexec** -le \[-g\] *-x*" is expected on input. This option has higher priority than PAEXEC\_EOT environment variable. Actually **-x** and **-y** are synonyms.

- **-y**

  If applied, output of "**paexec** -le \[-g\] *-y*" is expected on input. This option has higher priority than PAEXEC\_EOT environment variable.

- **-S**

  Remove leading space character.

- **-m** s=*success*

  - **-m** f=*failure*

  - **-m** F=*fatal*

  - **-m** t=*eot*

  Set alternative string for 'success', 'failure', 'fatal' and '' (end of task).

## EXAMPLES

```
 paexec -t '/usr/bin/ssh -x' -n 'host1 host2 host3' \
        -l -c ~/bin/complex_task | paexec_reorder
 paexec -gEI -lr -n 'host1 host2 host3' \
   -c command -t /usr/bin/rsh < tasks.txt | paexec_reorder -lgS -Mf
 For other examples, see examples/ directory
```

## ENVIRONMENT

- *TMPDIR*

  ***tempnam****(3)* is used for creating temporary directory. See the appropriate man page.

- *PAEXEC\_EOT*

  The same as in **paexec**.
