SAR -b interpretation

I have used SAR -b to get some Unix cache / buffer metrics and the results are confusing me a bit. The pread/s & pwrit/s are showing 0. However the lread/s and lwrit/s are showing figures. I note also that the bread/s and bwrit/s are showing figures. I believe that pread/s and pwrit/s is not...

Weird scenario with Awk

Guys, this one is rather odd. I've got an array of numbers, and I'm trying to select only the records with the string "Random" in the 4th column. I'm using awk in this format: awk '{ if (( $6 -eq Random )) print $0 }' For some odd reason, this is simply giving me the list of all the entries...

awk, sed, grep...weird style

my desired output is like this: so the thing is, I only need to show every of this part out but the frequency of that data is not fixed, so sometimes it may have 4 lines, or 6 lines or whatever in that file. However, the last line will always have empty space/line below it.

NAME

       thailpof - Generic filter for printing Thai text files

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lbin/thailpof [-c] [-h host] [-H] [-i indent] [-l length] [-n login] [-P printer_id] [-S] [-w width] [accounting_file]

OPTIONS

       Prints  control characters.  Specifies the host name of the job owner. This name can contain Thai characters.  Enables half-height printing
       mode.  In printers without a one-pass printing mode, Thai characters are printed on 3 levels, or 3 lines.  When half-height  printing  mode
       is  enabled, the 3 levels are printed in 1.5 lines, which improves the appearance of output.  The cost of this improvement is slower print-
       ing speed.  Specifies the amount of indentation. The default value is no (no indentation).  Specifies the page length in lines. The default
       value  is  22.	Specifies  the login name of the job owner. This name can contain Thai characters.  Specifies the printer ID in the format
       that conforms to the Wototo Specification. This format is [bb][mm][nn] where: Is the brand ID, representing the brand of the  printer.	Is
       the  model  ID,	representing the model of the printer.	Is the code ID, specifying the character code used by the printer.  Enables space-
       compensation mode.  Many of the existing tools for text alignment cannot handle nonspacing characters properly.	When printing output  from
       such  tools, enabling space-compensation mode improves alignment of output text.  Specifies the page width in columns. The default value is
       80.

OPERANDS

       Specifies the file to record accounting information.

DESCRIPTION

       The thailpof filter is a generic print filter for Thai text files.  The filter handles the device dependencies  of  printers  and  performs
       accounting  functions.	At print job completion times, accounting records are written to the file specified by the af field in /etc/print-
       cap.

       The filter can handle plain text files and files that have been preprocessed by nroff.  Either kind of file can	contain  Thai  characters.
       The  thailpof filter translates nroff control sequences for underlining, superscripting, and subscripting into the proper control sequences
       for the printer.

       The thailpof filter can be the specified filter in both the of and the if fields in the /etc/printcap file.  For  a  description  of  these
       fields, see printcap(4).

       To print Thai characters on the flag page using 3-pass mode, you must specify /usr/lbin/thailpof in the of field of the /etc/printcap file.
       In 3-pass mode, however, the flag page is not printed on one page.  Therefore, if you do not plan to print  Thai  characters  on  the  flag
       page, or if you are using one-pass mode, do not specify /usr/lbin/thailpof in the of field.

NOTES

       The  lpr  command  supports a number of options and associated arguments to enable localization features supported by various printers. The
       following can be used with the thailpof filter: To specify one-and-a-half line printing To enable space-compensation mode.  To specify  the
       pathname of the character code table

       For a complete description of this option and its associated arguments or values, refer to lpr(1).

ERRORS

       The lf field (default value is /dev/null) in the /etc/printcap file specifies the name of the error log.
