Personally, I don't care. Do you think that's better? People who run over multiple files usually (so far, as far as I've heard) are doing it either because they want to run through a lot of data at once, or because they want to look at a few events from each file. The latter is what -n supports. If you want another flag that does what you want, add it.

I would have thought it more logical that -n establishes an absolute limit on the number of events to process in the entire job, but perhaps it was never intended to be used that way. > > Thanks. > > ?Jeremy > ######################################################################## > Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list > > To unsubscribe from the HPS-SOFTWARE list, click the following link: > https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=HPS-SOFTWARE&A=1 > ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the HPS-SOFTWARE list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=HPS-SOFTWARE&A=1
