<h3>Note on maxparallel attribute</h3>
<p>
Some shells have a limit of the number of characters that
a command line may contain.
This maximum limit varies from shell to shell and from operating
system to operating system.
If one has a large number of files to change mode on, consider
using the <em>maxparallel</em> attribute. For example
when using AIX and the limit is reached, the system responds
with a warning: "Warning:
UNIXProcess.forkAndExec native error: The parameter or environment lists
are too long". A value of about 300 seems to result in a
command line that is acceptable.
