Repost-Korn Shell Scripting
Hi, being very new to Korn Shell Scripting I am hoping that someone here can help me. I want to compare file name in scp/inbox directory to file name stored inside a file in pnt/compare directory.
Hi, being very new to Korn Shell Scripting I am hoping that someone here can help me. I want to compare file name in scp/inbox directory to file name stored inside a file in pnt/compare directory.
1. Copy the first file name from the scp/inbox directory and insert into the pntcompare.dat. Then exit program.
2. Otherwise, if there is a file name pntcompare.dat in /pnt/compare directory then capture the first file name from the scp/inbox directory and compare to the file name's information stored inside the pntcompare.dat in /pnt/compare directory.
3. If they matched then remove the current file from the /scp/inbox directory to pnt/badfiles directory
4. Then create a badpnt.dat file and store the record information from file in /scp/inbox directory..
5. Next, remove the pntcompare.dat file from /pnt/compare directory.
6. Also remove the touch file (inputloop.touch) from Home directory.
7. If they not matched then remove contents in the pntcompare.dat then exit.
Here is an example of the file name pnt.20070327083828.000000066
Here is what I can come up so far, please help.
file=`/$ROOTDIR/pnt/compare -name 'pntcompare.dat' -print`
if [ -z $file ] then
pntcnt=`ls -l /$ROOTDIR/scp/inbox | grep "PNT." | wc -l`
if [[ $pntcnt1 -gt 0 ]] then
ls /$ROOTDIR/scp/inbox | grep "PNT." > /$ROOTDIR/pnt/compare/pntcompare.dat
pntcnt=`wc -l /$ROOTDIR/scp/inbox/pntcompare.dat|awk '{print $1}`
curcnt=1
do
filename=`head -$curcnt /$ROOTDIR/pnt/compare/pntcompare.dat | tail -1`
exit
else
Please help!!!
Thanks

mu-bookmarks
MU-BOOKMARKS(5) File Formats Manual MU-BOOKMARKS(5)
NAME
bookmarks - file with bookmarks (shortcuts) for mu search expressions
DESCRIPTION
Bookmarks are named shortcuts for search queries. They allow using a convenient name for often-used queries. The bookmarks are are also
visible as shortcuts in the mu experimental user interfaces, mug and mug2.
mu supports bookmarks stored in a file called bookmarks in the mu home directory (typically, this would be ~/.mu/bookmarks).
The bookmarks file is a typical key=value .ini-file, which is best shown by means of an example:
[mu]
inbox=maildir:/inbox # inbox
oldhat=maildir:/archive subject:hat # archived with subject containing 'hat'
The [mu] group header is required.
For practical uses of bookmarks, see mu-find(1).
LOCATION
The bookmarks file is read from <muhome>/bookmarks. Typically, this would be ~/.mu/bookmarks, but this can be influenced using the --muhome
parameter for mu-find(1) and mug(1).
