In this special case there is no effective difference between "$*" and "$@", because in bash the cd builtin accepts only one argument, the name of the directory you want to change to.
In ksh, cd takes optionally a second argument.
where old ist substituted with new in the current directory name and then changed to this directory, like
In this special case it would make a difference, because "$@" would keep two arguments intact, even if they contain whitespace, whereas "$*" would combine arg1 and arg2 into one string.
Hi guys,
I have no idea on unix but suddenly, my cobol programs calls a unix script that i know nothing about.
can you guys interpret these lines for me?
i know its a print command but I want to actually know how many copies it prints.
qprt -da -P $1 -t '6' -i '6' -l '70' $2

Could you interpret the following sed and awk command for me?
command:
cat tempfile2 |sed "s/\(BUILD-3-.*-\.-\)\(.*\..*\..*\)/\2/" | awk '{printf "%-8.8s %-23.23s %-30.30s %-50.50s\n", $1,$2,$3,substr($0,index($0,$4))}' > outfile2 2>/dev/null
input:(data in tempfile2)... (1 Reply)
Hi,
So I am new to Unix, and I need to check the performance of some apps I am running. But I don't know how to interpret the output from TOP.
Could somebody please explain the difference between the different values. And also explain how I can have a process which has a %CPU > 100?

hi
I have a text file abc.txt as below
a = 0
b = 1
c = 3
i want to interpret this file i.e. if number corresponding to 'a' is 0 i want to run a script script.bash .
How do do that? (4 Replies)
I have collected data of Number of L2 cache misses using PAPI. I had run an MPI application with 4 threads (mpirun -np 4) and each thread reads the cache misses in L2. Each thread outputs data for every timestamp. eg:
Timestamp data

xxx531 thread# 0 ... (0 Replies)
I know $0 is the entire file's contents (at least I think that is what it is!), but what exactly is: $0!~
This was a snippet from a larger line
awk '$0!~/^$/ {print $0}'
This deletes blank lines, but I want to know specifically the $0!~ part... I am guessing /^$/ is regex for blank line...... (5 Replies)
Can anyone tell me how to interpret this:
listpage="ls |more" (the spaces are there in the example)
$listpage
It's from my bash book and I'm not sure what it means (3 Replies)
hi All,
i have never used sed in Unix environment, but i have one script which is using this following command:
cat audit_session_rpt_MSP_20140331.lst|sed -n '/Apr 14/!p'| sed -n '/Page/!p'| sed -n '/UserName/!p' |\
egrep -v '^-|^=|^\*'|sed '/^$/d'|sed -e '1,7d'... (1 Reply)

platform::shell
platform::shell(n) Tcl Bundled Packages platform::shell(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities
SYNOPSIS
package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?
platform::shell::generic shell
platform::shell::identify shell
platform::shell::platform shell
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.
This package allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only
requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.
While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of the running shell
this is not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run
32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers.
For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will actually run the installed
packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software.
COMMANDS
platform::shell::identify shell
This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.
platform::shell::generic shell
This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.
platform::shell::platform shell
This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell.
KEYWORDS
operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture
