I appreciate the idea. The thing is, this tool is being written for machines that are deployed w/ out php. What I'm looking to do is have the output in a single file, FAQ-like form with a table of contents at the top. I have multpile functions defined in a ksh script and each will need it's own table of contents entry which takes you to the desired output. Right now each function is redirected to an output file and all output files are rolled into the tarball at the end. Here's an abbreviated version to get the idea across...
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
# global var
DATE=`date '+%m%d%y_%H%M'`
# define logging variables
logs_define () {
export TANKDIR=/var/tmp/dataCollect_tmp_.$DATE
export VERLOG=$TANKDIR/rpm_version.log
export METALOG=$TANKDIR/metadevices.log
export PROCLOG=$TANKDIR/allprocs.log
}
# create the directory where output will be stored
holding_tank_mk () {
mkdir $TANKDIR
echo "All output files are being written into "$TANKDIR"/"
echo "This directory will be removed and it's contents placed in a tarball at the end of the run."
}
# grab the rpm version info
get_rpmversion () {
echo ""
echo "Gathering rpm version information..."
rpm -qa|sort >> $VERLOG
}
# get metastat output
get_metastat () {
echo "Gathering disk mirroring information..."
echo "##### metastat output #####" >> $METALOG
metastat >> $METALOG
echo "" >> $METALOG
echo "##### metadb output #####" >> $METALOG
echo "" >> $METALOG
metadb -i >> $METALOG >> $METALOG
}
# snapshot of all system processes running
get_allprocs () {
echo "Gathering 'ps -ef' output..."
/usr/ucb/ps -auxwww >> $PROCLOG
}
# tar and zip contents of output diirectoy
bundle () {
export TARBALL=/var/tmp/dataCollect_.$DATE.tar
tar cvf $TARBALL $TANKDIR
gzip $TARBALL
echo ""
echo "Information has been collected and placed in the following file..."
echo "\t"$TARBALL.gz
echo ""
echo ""
}
# delete the output directory
holding_tank_rm () {
exec rm -rf $TANKDIR
}
# execute
logs_define
holding_tank_mk
get_rpmversion
get_metastat
get_allprocs
bundle
holding_tank_rm
Hi all,
Have the following code(1) producing the results(2 & 3).
Would like to know if there is a way to format the two reports created in a similar fashion.
IE - The first is formatted nicely as a result of the echo "$xmpbdate $xavgs" >> $xmpbrpt
However when I attempt to do the same on... (7 Replies)

Next is the filetype, so in... (1 Reply)
Sorry for being a n00b, but I'm having a lot more trouble than I should with formatting the output to the program I finally completed. I'm basically looking for the linux equivalent to setw( ) from c++ so that I can print things in columns like this (but without the underlines lol):

LEARN ABOUT PHP
echo
ECHO(3) 1 ECHO(3)echo - Output one or more stringsSYNOPSIS
void echo (string $arg1, [string $...])
DESCRIPTION
Outputs all parameters.
echo is not actually a function (it is a language construct), so you are not required to use parentheses with it. echo (unlike some other
language constructs) does not behave like a function, so it cannot always be used in the context of a function. Additionally, if you want
to pass more than one parameter to echo, the parameters must not be enclosed within parentheses.
echo also has a shortcut syntax, where you can immediately follow the opening tag with an equals sign. Prior to PHP 5.4.0, this short syn-
tax only works with the short_open_tag configuration setting enabled.
I have <?=$foo?> foo.
PARAMETERS
o $arg1
- The parameter to output.
o $...
-
RETURN VALUES
No value is returned.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
echo examples
<?php
echo "Hello World";
echo "This spans
multiple lines. The newlines will be
output as well";
echo "This spans
multiple lines. The newlines will be
output as well.";
echo "Escaping characters is done "Like this".";
// You can use variables inside of an echo statement
$foo = "foobar";
$bar = "barbaz";
echo "foo is $foo"; // foo is foobar
// You can also use arrays
$baz = array("value" => "foo");
echo "this is {$baz['value']} !"; // this is foo !
// Using single quotes will print the variable name, not the value
echo 'foo is $foo'; // foo is $foo
// If you are not using any other characters, you can just echo variables
echo $foo; // foobar
echo $foo,$bar; // foobarbarbaz
// Some people prefer passing multiple parameters to echo over concatenation.
echo 'This ', 'string ', 'was ', 'made ', 'with multiple parameters.', chr(10);
echo 'This ' . 'string ' . 'was ' . 'made ' . 'with concatenation.' . "
";
echo <<<END
This uses the "here document" syntax to output
multiple lines with $variable interpolation. Note
that the here document terminator must appear on a
line with just a semicolon. no extra whitespace!
END;
// Because echo does not behave like a function, the following code is invalid.
($some_var) ? echo 'true' : echo 'false';
// However, the following examples will work:
($some_var) ? print 'true' : print 'false'; // print is also a construct, but
// it behaves like a function, so
// it may be used in this context.
echo $some_var ? 'true': 'false'; // changing the statement around
?>
NOTES
Note
Because this is a language construct and not a function, it cannot be called using variable functions.
