John Esak propounded (on Thu, Dec 03, 2009 at 08:12:25PM -0500):
| Anyone who *owns* the SS Accounting and is smart enough to cull out the add
| / delete qualifier scheme and make it a little more generic than it was for
| the SS package is welcome to do it and post it here.... Just the add/delete
| qualifier thing....  :-)
| 
| JP, you are certainly smart enough... But what would be your incentive?

Despite your suggestion, I didn't consult your nice SS stuff, but
just dashed off 'addqual' using the Korn shell.  I only wrote 30% of
the script's 74 lines; the rest is Bob Stockler's work, setting up
variables and checking stuff.

My last run of 'timex addqual philly' ended with:

	"addqual" added "philly" to 114 directories and 471 indices.

	real       41.24
	user       24.78
	sys        14.35

Of course the load on my CPUs and their speed and the size of the
databases affect the timing, but Frank's 544 databases ought to be
provisioned in five or six minutes per qualifier.

Find 'addqual' in the filePro directory of ftp.jpr.com.
