ethsorthosts - Man Page

Name

ethsorthosts

Sorts stdin in a typical host name order and outputs to stdout. Hosts are sorted alphabetically (case-insensitively) by any alpha-numeric prefix, and then sorted numerically by any numeric suffix. Host names may end in a numeric field, which may optionally have leading zeros. Unlike a pure alphabetic sort, this command results in intuitive sequencing of host names such as: host1, host2, host10.

This command does not remove duplicates; any duplicates are listed in adjacent lines.

Use this command to build mpi_hosts input files for applications that place hosts in order by name.
