awk ?
Now i am pretty familar with awk but it appears you are using it in a csh format. Am I mistaken? I ihave payed with it abit and continuiously get a awk statement failure.
It appears it woud work can you help me a bit more by giving me example using my script above. I have been negecting my house work. I am a singe father, so you know the wash is stacked, and the dished are growing, but I am determinded to competed this script before I wak into work tomorrow.
My co workers and boss are all ignorate to scripting and see no reason of logic behind using it. they think I am crazy, I have worked in telecom for 6 years, and never did I want, have, or even used a gui point and click.
There is no CLI with the network I am on. Moto got them locked to a GUI patform. So I have taken it apon my mysef to dig out of informix / dbaccess and use the mib to get accual and factual data. Long story short, it wil.l feel goood to rub this script it there face, that they have snickered amoung them seleves saying it could not be done.
Thanks 4 everyones support .|

Hi,
i want to sum all nubers in one column. Example:
12.23
11
23.01
3544.01
I'm trying to do this in awk, but it doesn't work properly.
Seems like awk is summing only integers, for example:
12
11
23
3544
It cuts off numbers after dot.

sleep
SLEEP(1) BSD General Commands Manual SLEEP(1)
NAME
sleep -- suspend execution for an interval of time
SYNOPSIS
sleep seconds
DESCRIPTION
The sleep command suspends execution for a minimum of seconds.
If the sleep command receives a signal, it takes the standard action.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
The SIGALRM signal is not handled specially by this implementation.
The sleep command will accept and honor a non-integer number of specified seconds (with a '.' character as a decimal point). This is a non-
portable extension, and its use will nearly guarantee that a shell script will not execute properly on another system.
EXAMPLES
To schedule the execution of a command for x number seconds later (with csh(1)):
(sleep 1800; sh command_file >& errors)&
This incantation would wait a half hour before running the script command_file. (See the at(1) utility.)
To reiteratively run a command (with the csh(1)):
while (1)
if (! -r zzz.rawdata) then
sleep 300
else
foreach i (`ls *.rawdata`)
sleep 70
awk -f collapse_data $i >> results
end
break
endif
end
The scenario for a script such as this might be: a program currently running is taking longer than expected to process a series of files, and
it would be nice to have another program start processing the files created by the first program as soon as it is finished (when zzz.rawdata
is created). The script checks every five minutes for the file zzz.rawdata, when the file is found, then another portion processing is done
courteously by sleeping for 70 seconds in between each awk job.
DIAGNOSTICS
The sleep utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
nanosleep(2), sleep(3)
STANDARDS
The sleep command is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible.
HISTORY
A sleep command appeared in Version 4 AT&T UNIX.
BSD
April 18, 1994 BSD
