Symptoms

When trying to run the sfscleanup utility on linux for huge filesystems with /T switch to run in batches; the /T time is not honored.

1. Run the command sfscleanup /U xxx /P xxxxx /C pxxxx /D siebel /F /siebel/fs /X /tmp/FS_Report.log /N Y /Q Y /T 5

2. We see that utility mentions it would run for 5 minutes
