I have an automated testing script that relies on the dev box being able to see production's (NFS) share. It uses rsync and ssh to handle transfers and command execution; however, it also needs the...

Thanks DG. One last inquiry here: How do I find a detailed description of the bug (so I can pass it onto our admins)? I tried searching bugs.sun.com with the two numbers in your link ("118824-01" and...

We're SPARC and apparently lacking updates. I wonder if there's a workaround? I'll research further and see what we can do about updating. Thanks!

All,

I'm baffled by some sort behavior on SunOS 5.10 and looking for guidance.

Running the command:
sort -t'|' -k5,5 -k7,7 -k1,1 -k2,2 -k3,3 -k6,6 -k8,8 test
Against the file "test":...

methyl:

I tried your advice and the results are confusing.

The example directory that I'm using has a link count of four. If I search the same file system for links to this directory's inode I...

ls -l shows the number of links for each file. Is there a command that will show the link sources for a specific file? Running find on the entire filesystem and doing a little Perl "magic" is the...

I'm new at the entire spectrum of printing in Unix, and especially when--as I understand it--the printers are on a Windows server. At work we have a variety of printers and printing from Windows, or...

Bernard,

As usual, it was something silly on my part. I had installed a newer version of Samba, but certain links and rc.d scripts were still pointing to the old. This is working great :)

Thank...

Excellent! Thank you. What do you call the $' ' syntax?

Perhaps you could help me with another question.... I have a file on my Windows 98 desktop called "frere_jacques.mp3". I opened charmap,...

All,

I'm trying to grasp how to use Unicode with/in Unix. I've made progress on some fronts, for example, when uploading files to my server I can use the intermediary language to convert the file...

I did the following:

1. Renamed my .cshrc.
2. Logged into a new terminal window.
3. Ran the app's .cshrc file.
4. Added /usr/openwin/bin to my path, as required by the script.
5. Ran the shell...

Thanks for the reply, and sorry for the delay: I was on vacation. Here is some more information:

1. There is also a "b" switch, but this shouldn't affect the "f"? ("-fb")
2. The script is called...

Hey everyone,

A coworker of mine has written a csh script that starts with #!/usr/bin/csh -f. It's my understanding that the -f should skip the .cshrc and .login files, but here's the problem: In...

Gurus,

I've been on computers for a while, but I've yet to have the behind-the-scenes knowledge. I'm not sure if this is so much a Unix question as it is a nitty gritty computer one.

We...

thank you sir :)

Hello everyone.

Over time I've seen \!* used in shell scripts. Based on examples (bottom of the page) (http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/unix/upt/ch17_23.htm) I've found, I assume it substitutes all...

Hello everyone,

I use Samba to copy mp3 files to my Red Hat 8.0 box so I can randomize them through a playlist. When I copy:

Sigur Rós-Nýja Lagið.mp3

It shows in the mapped drive on Windows as:

thanks everyone. here is the information:

which telnet
/usr/bin/telnet
file /usr/bin/telnet

i am using redhat 8.0 and trying to connect to my local port 80 to run some HTTP. i know this can easily be done with telnet localhost 80, however telnet is not running, ssh is. ssh localhost -p 80...

#!/bin/sh
eval "sed -n 's/[0-9]\{2\}\/[0-9]\{2\}\/[0-9]\{4\} [0-9]\{2\}:[0-9]\{2\}:[0-9]\{2\}/`date '+%m\/%d\/%Y %H:%M:%S'`/gp' inputfile > outputfile"

first off, i don't know a lot about this, but what i can figure out from my machine here at work is that DISPLAY is an environment variable; try setting it to YOUR_IP:0.0

head -1 filename will get the first line.
assuming only the first and last lines are the commented ones, this will strip them out: grep -v '^#' filename > newfile

vi +'set nonu' filename

i was thinking that, but the "Mar" threw me off :)

your idea sounds good, but it seems to be too much work. you may try running a sort on the file, use cut or awk to just get the date information,...

grep "[A-z]\{3,4\} [0-9]\{2\} 16:04"
...not dependent on the day, the month, or the day and month? your example using "Thu" is confusing.
