MAX_ARG_PAGES


Hi,

I'm executing a script and coming across the good old "Arg List too long"
problem. I can get round it using the find command, but since part of the
script does an scp of the file to another server, it's proving quite
intensive. i.e. it's making a separate scp connection for each file, rather
than one for the whole lot.

Under Linux I would tweak the MAX_ARG_PAGES to allow a larger Argument list.
Is it possible to do something similar on Cygwin ? And if so, how ?

Thanks in advance.
